Split Portrait of Grandmother and Granddaughter Proves You Can’t Escape Genetics

Quebecois photographer Ulric Collette (previously here) is at it again, creating striking composite photographs comparing the genetic similarities of different members of the same family tree. This time, Collete’s composite portrait consists of two models very close to him – his mother, 61, and his daughter, 12. The photograph reveals an extraordinary similarity between the two women even though they are separated by a generation.
