Stunning colourised photos bring black and white shots from history to life… from D-Day to the Queen’s Coronation
The talented artist spends hours layering the different shades to create the perfect image
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 told The Sun: “I have always been fascinated by history since I was a kid, but the colourisation itself came into my life in a random and unexpected way.
“I was bored surfing the internet when I found a few colorized photos from the World War II in a forum.
