"Inheritance" 


The portraiture project documents the relationship between a parent and child. Observing characteristics and features we inherit from our parents and the changing of fashions over time. Each subject was dressed as their parent when they were of a similar age. Sitters range in age from 16 to 28 and the decades in which the photographs of the parents were taken range from the 1960s to the 1990s.
