Extraordinary photo shoot to recreate 40 years old snaps

Sometimes we can’t really imagine how wonderful ideas people have in their mind. Chris Porsz also known as “paramedic paparazzo” is one of such people who came up with a wonderful thought. His idea seems unbelievable yet pretty awesome.

This story starts with Porsz capturing some random folks passes by around Peterborough city, East England in late 70-80 decades as an amateur photographer while working as a paramedic. And almost 40 years later he wanted to recreate those old snaps with the same people. Sounds unbelievable, right? But for past seven years he was tracking down those strangers with this extraordinary idea.

Actually, he had to take really hard efforts to find those random people, to convince them his purpose and bring them back to old positions. Likewise, he has to do so much planning, detecting and negotiating works to make his dream come true. Some of people who appeared in his old portraits have separated, some haven’t seen each other for years and some haven’t been there for decades. So, this wonderful photo shoot idea turned into a project of reuniting people as well.

Eventually the result of his efforts and dedication is really captivating. The photographs show how things have changed, how people have grown up and how their outlook and sense of fashion has changed too. Actually, this is a social experiment more than just a photo shoot. Proz has written a book titled ‘Reunions’ with writer Jo Riley to bring us this amazing social journey and it’s available now on his website.
