Genetics have always been viewed and studied in a scientific setting, until now. Ulric Collette, 34 year-old photographer from Quebec City, coined a photography style called Genetics Portraits. Utilizing his ownable method, Collette takes portraits of two family members and mashes them together. The result? A mesmerizing yet eerie display of genetics hard at work. When pairing a child with their parent, it seems as though you are transported back into time. Equally as interesting are the differences, which highlight the jumps in genetic code from one generation to another.

What sparks our fire: Photos that make people stop, think, and question.

Where else has photography been used to change how we view the world?

Enjoy!
