Photographer Uses Photoshop To Travel Back In Time And Snap Incredible Selfies With Celebrities
It would be simply amazing if we had a time machine and could travel back in time to meet our favorite celebrities who are no longer with us today. Of course, in this case scenario we would want to immortalize the moment, and what could be better than snapping a selfie with them?
Unfortunately, modern science has not developed that much and time travel doesn’t exist yet (at least, as much as we are aware of), however, this fact didn’t stop 26-year-old Budapest-based photographer Flóra Borsi from creating her own set of selfies with some of the most famous faces from the 20th century. We must say that they look really realistic!

Flóra Borsi is not a stranger to us as she already surprised us here on Bored Panda with her self-portraits “Animeyed” in which she becomes one with different animals, a series of real-life models, and also making immigrants’ dreams come true by photoshopping them into today’s New York. In this series, the artist decided to discover the possibilities of the well-known phenomenon of the modern world – “selfie”. Let’s admit that it would pretty difficult to explain the concept of a selfie to a person from the 20th century but the fact makes the series even more interesting!

The artist had to take her time and prepare for this series to make them as realistic as possible. The first step was to find the right photos of these well-known Hollywood stars, artists and scientists. Then she had to add herself seamlessly to the shot to create the desired selfie.

“I made research of the appropriate fashion and hair styles, then analyzed every picture’s lighting, perspective, depth, gamma, noise type and jpeg artifacts. After this, I took matching photos with the same technical criteria and digitally “destroyed” my self-portraits.” – explains the artist on her Behance.

The artist perfectly recreated each photo’s spirit and the fashion trends of the time as she looks seemingly calm listening to Mahatma Gandhi, acting wild and crazy with Audrey Hepburn (note the glamorous hairstyle!), trying to find the flawless angle for a perfect selfie with Marilyn Monroe, and much more! If you could go back in time who would you like to take a selfie with?

Share on FacebookI love that she dressed era-appropriately for each shot. Very clever and really well done!
To me she looks almost like a different person in each picture. I like both the idea and her skill.
Those are so much fun to look at 😊The artist has a personality that makes those pics more than just a photoshop stunt. She is subtle and seems to grasp the life of particular photos she uses, she completes her protagonists, doesn’t overshadow them. I enjoyed the pictures very much. Especially the Marilyn one 😘
Normally , I don't like PS, I have to admit that this one are piece of art
Advance level of Adobe Photoshop with scene depth knowledge... now only if user can do this in color
Almost. I think she should have made her own image a bit grainier to match some of them.

I was gonna say this, age does a great job making most of them look like she was really there. If these were not well known photos, I’m pretty sure she could pass them off as photos she took herself. Made skills with Photoshop!! 👍🏻
