The folks over at TinyPrints asked photographers around the world to reshoot some of their favorite family photos. Here are some of the amazing responses they received:

“This photo is of my Dad from 50 years ago when he was just starting to explore photography. That long ago taking a photo was more of a science than art and required so much build up—getting the focus, shutter speed, lighting absolutely perfect. But it was a practice my father loved doing. He told me at school it made him very popular with all the girls, who would run to him if they found out he was taking a picture.”

Ukraine: Irina Salo
