Chino Otsuka is a talented photographer who was born and raised in Tokyo, Japan (Holler!) before moving (and now residing) in London. In this photo series "Imagine Finding Me", she cleverly manipulates old photographs from her pasts by adding her present imagine within them. By doing so, she is able to create new images in which her old self and new self live together; just like time-travelling.
"The digital process becomes a tool, almost like a time machine, as I'm embarking on the journey to where I once belonged and at the same time becoming a tourist in my own history."
The project reminds me of having a sort of guardian angel. But in this case, you go back and guide yourself to grow into the person you are now. Her amazing attention to detail: noise, shadow, exposure etc. really helps the photographs look completely authentic.
