Stunning colourised photos bring black and white shots from history to life…


HUE WILL BE AMAZED Stunning colourised photos bring black and white shots from history to life… from D-Day to the Queen’s Coronation --- BREATH-TAKING retouched photos show how colour can bring historic black and white photos to life. Artist Marina Amaral, from Brazil, has redefined history as we know it by Photoshopping colourless photos. After stumbling across some colourised snaps online, she decided to give the painstaking technique a try. Each image has been created following hours of research into the subject pictured, in order to make the retouching as realistic as possible. Marina has spent years honing her craft, using her love of history to develop the technique of painstakingly adding the different tones by hand. Although at first glance it may appear that the colours have been selected randomly, Marina uses the help of experts and research to keep the images as realistic as possible. Each project takes hours to complete, with the Photoshop fanatic carefully looking into descriptions of colours of the skin, eyes, hair and clothing. Digital colourist Marina also revealed that while Photoshop is a helpful tool, she still has to build up the different tones by hand. | The Sun
