Imagine Finding Me by Chino Otsuka could be the closest thing in time travel photography, if there ever were such a thing. Chino Otsuka is a London based photographer who has found a way to meet herself as a child. No we don’t mean the kind where people overlap old photographs at existing places, or do a ‘Now and Then’. This professional uses digital photo manipulations to self impose herself unto her childhood pictures. She has considered the delicate details like shadows, lighting and even grain quality of each photograph in the process of creating these believable memories.
What if, if you bumped into yourself somewhere on the stairs? What if you didn’t really realize you just walked past yourself? They’re all in transitional places, if you noticed, like on bridges, hotels rooms, trains. So again, the whole theme of this traveling is running through. Things are not quite past or present or somewhere in between and I quite like to show these in-between places. – Chino Otsuka
