Two and a half hours in Photoshop later…..and you get the above result! Retoucher and restoration master, THS Photo, released a time-lapse video which demonstrates the long process of restoring an old crinkled photograph. I was pretty impressed with the results but I have read some comments from Naysayers on other blogs. So…what do you think? (via DIY Photography)

Genetics Are Awesome, Photographer Explores Resemblance in Family Members

“You really look like your father”. How often have you heard that your resemble one of your family members?

Ulric Collette, a French-Canadian photographer wanted to explore that idea by splicing together images of parents, children, cousins and siblings to explore the way in which we inherit our appearances.

The result was a photo series called “Genetic Portraits” where he photographs family members and then cuts them side by side to create one portrait. The end result makes you notice the similarities between the people photographed, and how fascinating genetics really are. One really cool thing I noticed, is if you cover one half of the image with your hand, and then the other half, you can clearly picture how different each person is, but then when you look at them both, you notice so many similarities.

You can take a look at more of Ulric’s work on his website.
