In bygone eras, portraits were created to capture a person as they were. Recently, Japanese American artistic duo Kozyndan presented a series of portraits that were a bit akward at Narwhal Art Projects in Toronto, Canada.
The idea for the show came from an old photo album found at a Venice thrift shop which inspired Kozyndan to create potential 'lost photographs.'
The final result is fun and amusing!
