Krovinushka: a photo shoot showing how we are like our parents

Photographer Bobby Neil Adams has always believed that he looks like his mother with the lower part of his face and his father with the upper part of his face. He explored this question — how people are like their parents — in a photo shoot called "Family Tree". Starting more than twenty years ago, he used analog photography technologies, combining two portraits torn in the middle and gluing the different halves with rubber glue.

"This composite photograph can be viewed as a creepy map of life: in fact, a montage of two different family members is sometimes mistaken for a montage of portraits of the same person at different stages of life," the photographer says about his project.
