Do you miss the days when you were just a little child? Montreal-based Photographer Conor Nickerson wanted to go back to those days and he actually did. Not with the help of a time machine of course, he in fact used Photoshop and a little bit of patience.
“While looking through some old family photos, I wondered what it would it look like if tried to photoshop myself today into them,” Conor writes. “I gathered all the old hats and t-shirts that I could find and did my best to put myself into childhood moments which, aside from these photos, remain only a distant memory.”
Conor said that the most difficult part of this project was to adjust the quality of the photos dated from 1997-2005 to the actual ones: “It involved a lot of blurring, sharpening, and noise to try to get it to look like an older photo.” We must admit that his effort and patience worked out as the results are almost perfect. We find it hard to spot any Photoshop signs in them. Do you?
“Editing the pictures and looking at them so closely for so long takes a bit away from the shock value, but seeing the final images all together definitely is a bit strange! I feel like me and little me would have gotten along pretty alright.”
