Awesome Genetic Portraits

#1 Cousins
Genetic Portraits is am award-winning photographic series by Quebec-based photographer and graphic designer Ulric Collette. By combining the portraits of two individuals who are related to each other, Collete creates a visual study of genetics.

Here, cousins Justine, 29, and Ulric, 29, are the same age but don't appear to share many similarities until you look closer -- specifically at their jawlines. We wonder how Justine's genetic portraits would compare if she was pictured with Ulric's two brothers! 


#2 Twins
20 year-old fraternal twins Alex and Sandrine make an interesting study in this photograph. Alex's face is skinnier, but their shared traits become all the more prominent in this genetic portrait. 


#3 Two Sisters
Anne-Sophie, 19, and her sister Pascale, 16, blend into one in this genetic portrait. Because the share a similar hairstyle and nearly identical features, the photo looks almost completely natural. 


#4 Twins
Laurence and Christine are 29 year-old twins who share very different hairstyles and do their makeup rather differently, too. But this picture indeed shows that the two are twins. Their cheekbones, lips, and noses line up almost symmetrically.
