When Irina Werning isn’t rummaging through your old photos to visit your past self, she’s taking pictures of your present recreating the past.

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.

Believe it or not, this is not the first time we’ve run across past/present photographic recreations. Photographer Chris Prosz did a similar project across the pond. For an example on the strange side behold the photographic time window of Sergei Larenkov .
