Photo Reincarnation

I've seen the work of Irina Werning a few times in her "Back to the Future" collections. She takes old photographs and re-stages them years later with the same people in the same pose and even wearing the same clothing just later in their lives. It's really interesting to see how much people have changed or stayed the same between pictures one and two. Of course there are changes in every picture but what is really remarkable are all of the similarities. Its really amazing the amount of work that must go into each picture to get the location and clothing exactly right as well as the pose itself. I think this is such an interesting idea and I'm glad there is a talented photographer exploring it. The link is below to a gallery of a few of my favorites.
