This photographer recreated 20 incredible photos by tracking down the people he photographed over 40 years ago (New Pics)

Chris Porsz, a 68-year-old street photographer, never ceases to astound us with his photographic abilities. He has a unique perspective that only a few photographers have. We’ve previously highlighted his work “Barking” and “Reunions” on our website.

Chris is back with the second installment of his old project, dubbed "Reunions 2.” The project simply depicts how the residents of Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, have evolved through time. Because Chris has been working on this project for over 40 years, you’ll notice some significant differences in persons who were photographed years apart. See how time affects individuals and how the camera catches time in the video below.
