"Back to the Future"

Buenos Aries photographer, Irina Werning has blown me away with an ongoing project that consists of reproducing old portraits. Click her link below to view the images--there are tons! And not one of them is worth overlooking:

"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."

Her images come from those who volunteer to share their vintage portraits and then reenact them for her to "re-capture". Her work consists of many types of different people, as she travels all over the world and looks for her subjects in that given country.

Everything is precise--to the poses, the location, the clothing, the scratches on the print, the lighting, to even the minute characteristics such as other objects in the frame of the original portrait are replicated.

I found this to be so enjoyable and fascinating!
