Before And After: 30 Of The Most Creative Recreations Of Childhood Photos

ADVERTISEMENT

Who wouldn’t want to be a kid again, right? Salad days are long forgotten now, but you can still go back to those times by recreating childhood photos. A while ago, photographer Irina Werning released her Back To The Future photo series, depicting two brothers reenacting their favorite childhood pictures. These series of then and now photos were a huge hit, and so the trend was born.

After Irina has published her images, people figured out that these awkward, yet cheering family photos can be a great gift for your loved ones or a great excuse to act like children again. Careless, joyful and enthusiastic, this funny picture trend is here to stay.

We have collected a list of the most creative and funny childhood photo recreation shots for a taste of nostalgia and to be inspired to create your own series.

    I joined Bored Panda as an image editor back in 2014, during its early stages. It's been quite a journey since then! Over time, I transitioned through different roles until I eventually became the Content Lead. In this position, I now oversee the creation of the viral content published here on Bored Panda. While my primary focus lies in raising awareness about important social issues like gender and race equality, as well as mental health topics, I also enjoy sharing lighter content, such as memes, cat images and intriguing world curiosities. Outside of work, you'll likely find me engaged in one of five activities: planning a vacation, browsing thrift stores, experimenting in the kitchen, watching movies, or spending quality time with my two cats.
