Ulric Collette - Genetic Portraits

Who do you look like in your family?
I was told by my aunts that my mom was very pretty when she was young but unfortunately, I have not inherited her looks. I don't look like my dad either. I'm short like my mom but my dad is a very tall man. No fair!!
Josh's baby pics and mine are almost identical. A shame though 'cos Hubby is the one who has the looks. I'm the one with the brains!!! Interestingly, all three of my neighbour's kids (2 boys and a girl) of mixed parentage are clones of their mom who is Chinese but they look nothing like their Malay dad!

Check out this cool project by Quebec-based graphic designer and photographer Ulric Collette where he explores the facial similarities between two different members of the same family by fusing together a half of each face.

    THose are CREEPY!!

    Emma looks like me, but has Joe's build--thank goodness. Colin looks more like Joe, but he has my skin tone. It's funny how you see similarities between you and your kids, isn't it?

    I find that these are indeed odd and a bit creepy. What is even weirder is that some of these look like some booking photos in our towns newspaper. You know the drunks and such that were picked up.
