Photographer's Facemash Project Reveals Uncanny Genetic Resemblances

One photographer has taken to a whole new level.

In his Genetics Portraits series, French-Canadian photographer Ulric Collette photographs two family members and edits half of each face to create one portrait. Some of the portraits look so seamless, it's hard to tell they're even mashups at all

While taking pictures of his then 7-year-old son, Collette had an idea: He wanted to convey the fascination behind genetics.

"I was attempting to create something totally different with another project of mine, and in the process I came up with the first picture," Collette told Mashable. "Later, I decided to try the same process with a few family members and the project was born."
