Artist Reimagines The Fantastic Origins Of Vintage WWI-Era Photos

It's like being transported to a different world twice.

After WWI, war photographer Costica Acsinte returned to Romania where he opened a studio. Acsinte's portraits are fascinating on their own, but have been given a magical twist by Australian artist Jane Long in a series called "Dancing With Costica."

Long, whose biography says was self-taught, started using Photoshop in 1994 and has been playing with images ever since.

See the full collection and her other pieces here.
