Family Tree by Bobby Neel Adams

By Queuebot in Pictures on Mar 31, 2009 at 1:24 pm

In his art series Family Tree, photographer Bobby Neel Adams take portraits of family members (father/son, mother/daughter and so on) tear them down the middle and gluing them back together (no photoshop manipulation is involved).

The result reveals a fascinating "visual DNA" or facial similarities between the two generations of people.

    That was really cool. I thought the one with the long haired blonde lady was especially striking.

    That’s pretty neat.
    Wouldn’t be able to do that with myself, brother or our parents. Father is white, mother is korean, and my brother and I look like neither one of them lol.
    I do look like my aunt on my father’s side when she was young though.

    The photographer Bobby Neel Adams did a similar thing a while ago, with photos of the same person from different ages (i.e. young and old). Featured on Neatorama: Age Maps
