Ulric Collette’s hybrid portraits of related people offers a very interesting look at the similarities between family members.

Canadian photographer Ulric Collette‘s Genetic Portraits is a very interesting photographic study of the similarities and differences between related family members.

Ulric combined the portraits featuring siblings, parents and children using post production, creating a seamless split down the middle of their faces. The similarities are especially striking in the hybrid portrait of the photographer and his older brother Christophe below.
