Irina Werning - Back To The Future

I have recently found a photographer called Irina Werning, i came across her when i was researching on the internet for inspiration. She has produced several collections of work that are shown on her website. One collection inparticular that i have just fallen in love with though is a selection of images called "Back To The Future" and "Back To The Future 2 2011" 


Below is a section from Irina's website about this collection of work.



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.
2010 ONGOING PROJECT...
by the way, this project made me realise Im a bit obsessive...

The images in this photo set have really inspired me i have literally fell in love with this kind of imagery she is reproducing. I was kind of freaked out by how similar the two images were. She has managed to re-create them almostly exactly. In some of the imagery it is amazing how some of the buildings still look exactly the same and the streets and the only thing that has aged is the person/people in the images.
Her other work i also like but i am just really taken by this selection of work that she has produced. This will definately inspire me for future projects. I find it interesting how a lot of people are obviously interested in re-creating there past and i want to investigate and research this further.
