Fascinating Faces: Ulric Collette’s ‘Portraits Génétiques’
[quote]  Father & son: Laval, 56, and Vincent, 29 (2008-2009)  Mother & daughter: Julie, 61, and Amelie, 33 (2011)  Father & son: Denis, 53, and William, 28 (2008-2009)  Son and father: Nathan, 6, and Ulric, 32 (2011) Portraits génétiques is a series by French photographer Ulric Collette in which he assembles the half faces of two relatives together to explore genetic likenesses. The concept is exceedingly simple, but the results are surprisingly captivating. The play between similarities and variations between the two faces produces a slightly uncanny, slightly grotesque effect which is wonderfully bewitching. Like our inexplicable fascination with mug shots, Collette’s photographs demonstrates the deep pleasure we take in looking at human faces and their variations. If faces might somehow reveal something about the character of a person, perhaps Collette’s hybrid family portraits suggest that they also give an insight to the nature of our families.  Mother & daughter: Julie, 61, and Isabelle, 32 (2011)  Sisters: Isabelle, 32, and Amelie, 33  Daughter and father: Amelie, 33, and Daniel, 60 (2011)  Mother & daughter: Veronique, 29, and Francine, 56 (2010)  Sisters: Catherine, 23, and Veronique, 29 (2010)  Brothers: Christophe, 30, and Ulric, 29 (2008-2009)  Cousins: Justine, 29, and Ulric, 29 (2008-2009)  · |

This is awesome! It really does show the similarities, some of these would barely get a second glance in a busy street! |
