# Reliving Childhood Photography VMAN 24 Has Male Models Replicating Old Photos of Themselves By Katherinev123 | Published 2011-10-21 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vman-24 References: [nymag](http://nymag.com/daily/fashion/2011/10/irina_werning_for_vman.html?) & [vman](http://www.vman.com/) Here is a first look at the upcoming VMAN 24, which includes an editorial, called 'Back to the Future,' featuring the world's top male models mimicking the poses they made in their own childhood photos. This ultra-cute photo shoot was captured by Irina Werning and features the likes of Tyson Ballou, Brad Kroenig and Garrett Neff. In the opening shot, Ballou is shown adorably licking a lollipop the way his younger counterpart did. In another capture, you see Neff jumping from a sand dune, and another image shows Kroenig in a soccer photo. This time-spanning editorial for VMAN 24 is certainly appropriate -- the 24th issue is 'The Decades Issue' after all. At any rate, seeing these top male models as the incredibly cute children they were is a fun way to start off the day. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.3/10 - Popularity: 87% | Activity: 95% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Nostalgic Photography:** There is a trend in photography focused on recreating old childhood photos, evoking feelings of nostalgia. - **Celebrity Throwback:** The trend of celebrities recreating their childhood photos is gaining popularity, connecting with fans on a personal level. - **Time-travel Editorials:** Editorials that juxtapose past and present, like the 'Back to the Future' shoot, are becoming a trend in the fashion industry. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can capitalize on the trend of recreating childhood photos by creating nostalgic-themed clothing collections or campaigns. - **Photography:** Photographers can offer services specializing in recreating old childhood photos, tapping into the nostalgic photography trend. - **Advertising:** Advertisers can incorporate the concept of recreating childhood photos into their campaigns, resonating with consumers' nostalgic emotions and creating a deeper connection. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [British Youth-Culture Photography Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-and-away.md) - [Storytelling-Forward Footwear Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/old-meets-knu.md) - [Intergenerational Fashion Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gapstudios-fw25.md) - [Streetwear Skate Remixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-future.md) - [Hipster Era Photography Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-cobrasnake-y2ks-archive.md) - [Stylish Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stylish-fashion-campaigns-marc-jacobs-unveils-its-spring-2025-marcworld-cam.md) - [Retro Doll-Themed Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barbie-film-camera.md) - [Digital Makeup Zines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maczine.md) - [Youth Intern Social Stunts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/intern-social-stunt.md)
