# Re-Created Family Photographs Two Brothers Duplicate Family Photos 20 Years Later for Their Mom By Mesel Isaac | Published 2013-11-23 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/family-photo References: [laughingsquid](http://laughingsquid.com/brothers-recreate-their-mothers-favorite-photos-20-years-later/) & [imgur](http://imgur.com/a/T26Ht) Redditor [olias32](http://www.reddit.com/user/olias32) has uploaded family photos he took of himself with his brother that mimic photos taken 20 years ago as a gift for their mother on her 55th birthday. Olias32 is currently 29 and his brother is 26, making them both 9 and 6-years-old respectively when the family photos were taken. The brothers went to holiday spots they would frequent as children growing up in Romania. Once they arrived at the location they took a family photo that was almost identical to the ones taken as children. Where possible, they wore almost identical clothing and create the same gestures, for the most part they succeed. It’s almost eerie seeing grown men standing and acting as their younger selves but I have no doubt that they created new family photos their mother will cherish. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 52% | Activity: 29% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [DIY](https://www.trendhunter.com/diy) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Re-created Family Photographs:** Opportunity to create a market for professional re-creations of family photographs to capture nostalgic memories. - **Nostalgic Photography:** Growing demand for services that recreate old photographs to evoke sentimental feelings and memories. - **Viral Photo Challenges:** Emerging trend of individuals recreating old photos as part of viral challenges on social media platforms. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Photography Services:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for photography studios to offer re-creating family photograph services. - **Memorabilia Retail:** Opportunity for memorabilia retailers to sell kits and props for recreating old family photographs. - **Social Media Platforms:** Emerging trend of individuals recreating old photos as part of viral challenges on social media platforms. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Memory-Making AR Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rokid-fathers-day.md) - [Imperfect Photography Celebrations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nonnas-cam.md) - [Time-Altering Digital Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/time-machine-feature.md) - [Keepsake Photo Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/once-upon.md) - [Childhood-Inspired Generational Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reflection-house.md) - [Timeless Photo Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/photos-by-artkive.md) - [Childhood Memory Capturing Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dear-little-one.md) - [Vintage Photo Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retrova.md) - [AI-Generated Selfies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreambooth.md)
