There is a myth, some say a science, suggesting people who have more symmetrical faces are considered more “ attractive “. If you are made symmetrical, do you consider yourself more beautiful, less so, or is it just weird? Or is it you at all? Do you have a best side? What is to be said of left and right brain dominance?
This is a series of photographic portraits completed in 2010. The subjects were specifically cast for their individual facial features. They were photographed front to camera and in the same position. They were asked not to express emotions or character. – Julian Wolkenstein
Voici une série de portrait symétriques. Le photographe Julian Wolkenstein a demandé à ses modèles de ne prendre le visage le plus neutre possible. Il a ensuite coupé les visages verticalement et appliqué un effet miroir pour révéler la symétrie. J’aurais bien aimé voir les photos originales pour comparer. 
This initial study focusing on facial symmetry, is part of a larger piece revolving around facial features, facial proportions and facial symmetry.
An accompanying website and continuing project titled « Echoism » is at echoism.org
The term Echoism relates to fascial symmetry in its physiognomical sense.
Dear all,
I found these photographs, dated 2010, of Julian Wolkenstein about symmetry by chance.
These same photos had already been made by the Portuguese artist Cecilia Costa in 2001 ( it was when I saw the 1st time).
She was among the artists selected for the Biennale of Sydney in 2004 as a result of his work work in progress. He has photographed over 600 faces and exposed those same jobs all over the world.
http://www.anamnese.pt/?projecto=az (search Cecília Costa) where you can see some of her earlier works and they all involve the idea of symmetry.
Thank you for listening,
Francisca
en fait c ‘est tout simple après avoir regardé et lu vite fait ce qu’il dit il faut prendre par exemple la moitié droite du visage de la photo droite et la moitié gauche de la photo gauche et on trouve le visage de la personne ^,^. si on regarde son site echoism.org on voit les test qu on fait les gens donc avec le raie de lumiere en plein milieu d’une face sombre et une photo plus clair à coté on comprend le système! Bonne continuation le site webinapage est super!
Merci Lee pour ces précisions
