Chris Porsche is a street photographer. In the 70s and 90s of the last century, he wandered the streets of the British town of Peterborough and photographed people. Four decades later, Chris decided to find the characters of his photos to learn about their fates and recreate the events captured in the old pictures.
And the photographer managed to do that. He found a lot of these people and he took pictures of them. There were 135 photos, of which Porsche created an entire photo book, calling it «Reunification». Take a look at some photos from this album.
