It’s hard to imagine being limited to taking exclusively black and white photos. At the same time, B&W photography remains popular, and images without a full range of colors have their own unique character.
However, nothing is impossible nowadays, and even something like adding color to old photographs, if done properly, can completely change the look of the picture and our perception of what we’re looking at. The French artist Sebastien de Oliveira specializes in digitally colorizing vintage photos. We’ve already featured some of his earlier works as an illustrator and photographer, so check out our previous Bored Panda posts. Today, we've compiled the most recent selection of images Sebastien added some color to, so you can admire the before and after effects of his work.
