Does Facial Symmetry Define Beauty?
Would a perfectly symmetrical face necessarily look more attractive? Photographer Alex John Beck explored that question by mirroring different halves of the same portrait, creating paired images that make familiar ideas about beauty feel less straightforward.
Beck took a portrait of each person and then divided it into the left and right side of the face. Then he mirrored each to create symmetrical portraits from each side.
