Irina Werning: Back to the future 2

Argentinian photographer Irina Werning has produced a second series of her famous Back to the Future portraits which recreate childhood photos with the subjects as adults. Some of the first series are also included below in case you missed them first time around. The images are unnervingly exact in recreating the original, often period, details. To some the pictures may be melancholic but ultimately they are heartwarming; people change less than you’d expect despite the passage of time.

Werning writes: ‘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.’
