The Human Touch in Colourization

Unlike automated AI filters that simply guess at colours, producing washed-out or artificial results, my colourization process relies on human judgement, historical research, and an artistic eye.

I don't just apply colour; I interpret the light, the texture, and the time period to ensure every hue feels authentic to the original moment captured.

Realistic Skin Tones

Skin isn't a single flat colour. I carefully layer subtle undertones to create natural, lifelike complexions that respect the subject's true appearance.

Historical Accuracy

Military uniforms, vintage clothing, and period signage are researched to ensure the colours applied are historically appropriate for the era.

Preserving Identity

Colourization should enhance, not alter. I meticulously maintain the original lighting and shadows to ensure facial features remain instantly recognizable.

palette

Natural Colour

I avoid the 'neon' look common in automated tools. My palette is carefully selected to reflect the subtle nuances of natural light and real-world environments.
