Studying history is always important, but that process doesn't stop us from playing with it a little, in the best sense of the expression. In early July we shared the work of Denis Shiryaev, who animates and restores the faces of famous paintings using artificial intelligence, however, it would be a mistake to ignore the profile Royalty Now on Instagram, which takes portraits of leaders and celebrities from the past to reproduce them in a more modern style.
It's a question we've asked ourselves more than once: How would certain famous characters react to modern life? How would they behave, what would their ideas be? How would they look? Clothes, hairstyle, makeup… it's certainly an interesting exercise. Photographer Drew Gardner decided to go in the opposite direction by dressing descendants of famous people as their predecessors, but if you're more interested in artistic interpretations, your first stop should be the Royalty Now profile, run by Becca Saladin. The first time we talked about her was in January, and today she's back with new creations.
