A photographer has left people baffled with his mind-bending photographs, which bring two decades of time together in a single snapshot.
Film director Toryn Westcott, 36, from Twickenham, has created a string of unique pictures by merging together two moments that were captured at the exact same location but decades apart.
The digital creator has collated the snapshots, one of which sees a 1960s Twiggy join a modern day pedestrian in Notting Hill, for his Hunter of History photo merge Instagram project.
As part of the impressive collection, Mr Westcott blended together a snap of boxing legend Muhammad Ali with a photograph of lovebirds on Great Windmill Street in London.
Here, the Daily Mail showcases an array of his best time-defying shots…
