I’m generally not a fan of colorizing old B&W photos, but these are cool.

He’s done something rather clever here - rather than trying to stick to perfectly accurate tones and colors, which is really, really hard - he’s gone for advertising and marketing colors. Artistic colors. Just close enough to reality that it doesn’t fall into the uncanny valley, and evokes Hopper, Rockwell, and all the ads in the Saturday Evening Post.

Which, considering some ads of the day were rescreened/retraced B&W photos with colors added, only makes sense.

Have you watched videos on all the work that goes into properly colorizing a photo. I though I liked photography, but those people must live and breathe it.

This marketing scheme must have been much easier to do

Some pictures reminded me a bit of Elgin Park , maybe it’s the minimal wear-and-tear on things in those certain pictures.
