Like the Mona Lisa or Van Gogh’s self portraits, many celebrity Instagram posts have become the iconic images of the modern day – so instantly recognisable that we could spot them a mile off.

Which is why recreating them works so damn well.

In the latest series of celebrity Insta parodies, a cancer doctor has been recreating many popular pics to raise money for charity.

Mark Udovitch, a Sydney-based radiologist working in Australia’s Liverpool Cancer Therapy Centre, initially started taking the photos and posting them on to his fundraising Facebook page for nothing other than a laugh – to bring a lightness to an otherwise awful topic.

Udovitch’s girlfriend, Lisa, acted as the project’s make-up artist, photographer and director, helping him to get the perfect snaps.

The hilarious images include recreations of Kendall Jenner’s famous heart-shaped hair, Janet Jackson’s topless shoot and Kim Kardashian's Paper magazine shoot that ‘broke the internet.’
