Back to The Future with Irina Werning (Part II)

TomAuthor

Do you remember Irina Werning and her cool photos called “Back to The Future” we've posted earlier? Well, it appears that Irina hasn't stopped with her creative ideas and released the part II of her photo series.

A photographer born in Buenos Aires takes someone’s vintage photo and recreates the same old scene with the same person many years later. While the then and now concept might not sound too complicated, she is unbelievably accurate with her photo ideas – it seems that she just found some old and young look-alikes and shot two pictures on the same day.

"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 these recreated photos. So, with my camera, I started inviting people to go back to their future..by the way, this photo project made me realize I'm a bit obsessive…" says the artist.
