A photographer has left people baffled with his stunning photographs, which bring two decades of time together in a single snapshot.
Director Toryn Westcott, 36, from Twickenham, has created a series of unique images by merging two moments that were captured in the exact same location but decades apart.
The digital creator collected the snapshots, one of which shows a 1960s Twiggy joining a modern-day pedestrian in Notting Hill, for his Hunter of History photo fusion Instagram project.
As part of the impressive collection, Mr Westcott mixed a snap of boxing legend Muhammad Ali with a photograph of lovebirds on Great Windmill Street in London.
Here, the Mail presents a series of its best shots defying time…
