A Photographer Combines Portraits of Family Members to Prove How Amazing Our Genes Are

Like VK on FB:

Take a closer look at your own face and you will see a mirror that reflects past, present, and future at the same time. That’s how our genes work — they can make us look exactly like our parents, grandparents, and even cousins. To prove this point, Ulric Collette, a self-taught photographer from Quebec, Canada, created a series of “genetic portraits” that feature the faces of family members spliced together.

We put together amazing examples of Collette’s portraits that can prove the old saying “Like father, like son.”
