Parallel Kinship Portraits

Carra Sykes Captures Her Bond With Her Mother Through Beautiful Images

A daughter's bond with her mother can be an extraordinary thing, and it's quite often hard to express to others, but photographer Carra Sykes has beautifully captured this bond in her wonderfully touching mother-daughter portraits.

The photo series involves Sykes and her mother photographically captured in exactly similar situations. For example, a photograph of Sykes wearing a fedora and cat sweater would be followed by a photograph of her mother wearing that exact same outfit in that exact same position. The series is a wonderfully touching depiction of a mother and daughter's close relationship and bond.

The creative approach of capturing a mother and daughter in side-by-side photographs is such a fantastic way to display the touching and heartfelt bond one has with their parent.
