50 People Who Took Their Family Photo Recreations To The Next Level
Interview
The years might rush by and we might look different, but deep down inside, we’re still the same people we always were. In our opinion, one of the most interesting trends to sweep the internet is people recreating old family photos. While some people are reenacting the same scenes with the same poses alongside their family members (sometimes even wearing nearly identical clothes), others are snapping photos where they look so much like their loved ones, the similarity is uncanny.
The Bored Panda team has collected some of the most interesting family pic recreations for you to enjoy, Pandas, so scroll on down and upvote the ones you liked the best. And if you’ve ever done anything similar, post a photo to show everyone else in the comment section below. When you’re done, check out our earlier posts about awesome photo recreations right here, here, and here.
Bored Panda spoke about family photo recreations with photographer Dominic Sberna, one of the people whose reenactments have gone viral online. "The photo my sister and I recreated was from her first communion. So, the photo was taken roughly 19 years ago. It was actually her idea to recreate the photo. I can't speak for her, but I'd have to guess it was the veil in the old photo that sparked the idea to recreate the old image, on her wedding day," he told us. Read on for our full interview with Dominic. Bored Panda also reached out to Cody about him recreating his grandfather's photo in Japan. He told us all about how "surreal" and powerful it was.

I love things like this because it is awesome to see how people change over time, but in a way stay the same.
