There's a new phenomena among us that's beginning to receive more and more attention. Dubbed 'photo-remakes' this technique draws inspiration from a known piece
(most commonly paintings, but also stretching to sculpture and photography), and aims to reconstruct that piece as a photograph. The goal is not so much to create an exact replica, but to recreate the mood, and sometimes even add a layer of personal interpretation.
Being able to create a powerful remake requires a high level of technical precision, as well as a strong artistic vision and talent. Below are a few 'photo-remakes' paired with the original work for comparison. Let us know what you think of this growing trend and the works themselves in the comments below.
