How did you find the old pictures of your mom?

—I have a collection of old family photos, and some of them included pictures taken when my mom was around my age.

Did you have to photoshop the recreations to make them look more like the original photos?

—I tried my best to recreate the photos without relying on photoshop. However, in some cases, I did use photoshop to adjust the colors and backgrounds to match the originals more closely.

Why did you rent a hotel room for the photoshoot?

—Some of the original photos were taken in a hotel room, so I wanted to recreate the same environment to make the photos as accurate as possible.

What challenges did you face during the recreations?
