Photo Colourisation

A picture paints a thousand words, or so the saying goes, yet many pictures from the past now lay forgotten, gathering dust in old shoeboxes or slowly fading away in the pages of old books.  This site seeks to explore the use of digital technologies to enhance and reimagine historical images to encourage viewers to connect and engage with the past in a new way.
