Back to the future

I love this photo project. it is the brainchild of Irina Werning, who takes old photos, and recreates them with the subjects as they are now.

She describes it thus:
"I love old photos. I admit being a nosey photographer. As soon as I step into someone else’s house, I start sniffing for them. Most of us are fascinated by their retro look but to me, it’s imagining how people would feel and look like if they were to reenact them today... A few months ago, I decided to actually do this. So, with my camera, I started inviting people to go back to their future".

You can tell it was a labour of love because of the sheer attention to detail in the shots. She has picked exactly the same locations and matched the exact clothing too. The picture above is of "Oscar" shot in both 1978 & 2010. She's even managed to recreate the pink colour caste in the aging original.

She adds:
"by the way, this project made me realise Im a bit obsessive..."
