If you have never heard of Mike Stimpson, you will almost certainly be aware of some of his photography.

Recreations of famous photographs

We have chosen a small selection of his work but there is tons of truely smirk-tastic stuff. Its hard to believe that Mike is a computer programmer by day and a part-time photographer by night.

Photos origin:

• Recreation of Joe Rosenthal's 1945 photograph 'Raising the flag on Iwo Jima'.
• Reconstruction of the famous 1932 photograph 'Lunch atop a skyscraper' taken by Charles Ebbets.
• Recreation of John Lennon and Yoko Ono's 1969 'Bed-In' in Amsterdam.
