[Canon's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/never-break-your-flow) 'Your Second Shot' is a project to recreate and recapture moments that didn't turn out perfectly the first time.

There are usually no do-overs of important moments. With this project, Canon is helping people [recapture lost moments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/make-your-photo-successful-first) by bringing them back to the place where the photo first went wrong and recreating the whole thing.

In one story, Canon takes a woman back to Barcelona to recapture a photo in the plaza where her parents first met. In another, Canon brings back CBGBs for one night so a band can relive their [first performance](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joycapture) and get a better image from the show.
