Street Photographer Recreates Photos Which He Captured 30 Years Ago

Must read

There are many kinds of people around us. Most of these people are interesting in their own ways. While some appear to be curious about many things happening around them, some make us curious to look at them through their activities. Chris Porsz is one such personality who has made the whole world turn towards him through an amazing thing he has done. What he has done is actually absolutely mind boggling. He has recreated the scenes of all his photographs taken between 1970 and 1990. Even to just think he has done it is stunning.

During his visit to Peterborough in Cambridgeshire, he has taken tremendous efforts to locate people in his earlier photographs. The heart touching manner in which he has tried to bring in everyone in the photo together amuses every on looker without an iota of doubt. He has done this after almost 40 plus years. He did not stop with the recreation. He has taken sincere efforts to compile the reunion into a book that captures all the 135 photos meticulously. Named as ‘Reunions’, Jo Riley has written the text part of the book explaining interesting facts about the people in the photos
