Photographer Tracks Down People After Nearly 40 Years To Recreate Their Photos

Have you ever taken a look at an old photo album and imagined how great it would be to recreate it after so much time had passed? Time treats us all differently, and it’s interesting to see how time has affected people that we know and love. 

One photographer had the chance to track how people in his home city of Peterborough, Cambridgeshire have changed over nearly 40 years. Paramedic and photographer Chris Porsz spent countless hours taking photos back in the early ’80s around his neighborhood and tried for seven years to get people in his old photographs to pose again for his new ones. The results are quite stunning!

Let’s take a quick look at Reunions.

1. Some local “punks” hanging out in Cathedral Square in Peterborough (’70s).

Look at them now!

John, on the far left, still lives in Peterborough. He’s a painter and plays in a band with Ade (middle). 

2. A couple, Tony and Sally Wilmot, having a tender moment at the train station in 1980. 

The couple went on to get married and have two children, and they didn’t even know that this picture had been taken until they were contacted by Chris recently.
