Who’s your daddy?

When told that he resembled his grandfather, photographer Drew Gardner launched into a project exploring families and history.
The photo above is of Hugo de Salis, the 4th great-grandson of Napoleon juxtaposed with the portrait of Napoleon by Jacques-Louis David. This ongoing project is titled, “The Descendants.”
Here are some more images from the series:
