Czech artist Jiri David created similar series in 1991-1995… He photographed some famous artists. E.g. http://artlist.cz/?id=4275

Pretty interesting work. Not entirely new but it’s a nice presentation of the fact that one can produce such different facial features by simply copying one side of the face onto the other. That and the fact that some of them look hilarious, lol.

Deserves a higher rating. Refreshingly simple premise with a (relatively) simple execution.

Another example of a nimble, creative idea trumping need for brawny equipment.

That was slightly disturbing, but in a cool way! I kinda wish they had showed what the person looked like and then showed the picture though… just to put a bit more perspective on it. Still, very interesting! I’m going to have to go try this now, I’m curious what I will look like!

This is something that I’ve always noticed photography subjects, some simply have a better side… and this really puts it all into perspective, albeit a freaky and surreal perspective.

From now on, I shall remember to try pick up hot chicks with my *good side* showing eh? :P

This is a really fun thing to do. I think there are several reasons why the faces look unnatural, the mirrored catchlights being one of them. You also have to make really sure to shoot the subjects straight on, otherwise you distort the faces so that one eye looks closer to the nose than the other one and also the jaw lines may appear to be different. While this is true for almost all faces anyway, shooting at an (even ever so slight) angle can exaggerate this and lead to even more alien-like head shapes.
