with over 7 billion people on earth, the variation of human faces is immeasurable. despite the near-infinite possible permutations of eye color, nose length, hair style and lip shape, many people do look considerably alike, whether influenced by genetics or sheer coincidence.
croatian photographer ino zeljak cultivated an interest in the similarities and differences between people and reveals a series of rare resemblances in ‘metamorfoza’. with a simple format against a solid backdrop, zeljak has captured the portraits of two different people — brothers, best friends and parents — and merged them into a single face using photoshop. split in half, the stitched images are so closely related that upon first glance, they’re almost indistinguishable as two distinct individuals. the startling effect exposes how innately homogenous we can look, and how closely — in spite of billions of hereditary modifications — we can be so similar to a total stranger.
