Canadian photographer Andrew Ryan has created a series of spliced together portraits of siblings to show the differences and similarities between those who share DNA.
Just as his photos combine and blur the lines between two related people, Ryan combines film and digital techniques to eliminate and blur the “boundaries between digital and analogue photography”.
Ryan shoots his portraits in black and white film, before scanning the negatives and splicing them digitally to create his composite images.
The focus on genetics in Ryan’s work stems from his experiences as an only child.
Ryan said, “Having an obviously limited gene pool, it has been natural for me to analyse the likeness of various siblings to each other.”
