Woman Poses With Her Old Heavier Self After Losing 150 Pounds

To be more precise, Beth shanghaied Blake into doing it. They came up with several pop-culture inspired scenarios where the duo photographed pre-weightloss Beth with an imaginary character. Two years and a gastric bypass surgery later, a much slimmer Beth stood before the camera again. After some editing – Blake makes a point of not retouching her figure – the two Beth’s were united in quirky, slightly geeky scenarios.

Blake Morrow is a Toronto-based photographer and illustrator. He fell in love with the idea as soon as Beth brought it up. As both of them are “sci-fi geeks” (and he loves before-and-after projects) Morrow decided to capture these unique aspects of his fiend. “Some of the images are dramatic and theatrical, while others go for a gritty photo-realistic vibe, but they’re all about Beth being herself, even while taking on characters to play” Blake told BuzzFeed.

And that’s how Beth got to punch out her past self – something many of us want to do, but can’t (without a time machine)
