My aim with this project is to bring color, clarity, and other modern digital enhancements to these old tintype photos for the sake of historical preservation and awareness. However, my ultimate goal with this project is to evoke an increased measure of understanding, empathy, and appreciation towards those who endured one of the bloodiest and most tumultuous eras in American history. I hope that additional clarity and color can help viewers to experience a familiar, relatable immediacy and greater connection to our ancestors who lived, worked, laughed, cried, and experienced the same type of human emotions we do.
For many, the only record of what these very real people looked like is documented in these tintype photos. The entirety of their memory may be held in these images which are limited in quality, condition, and clarity because of the limitations of Tintype photography which was still in its infancy. I hope that my work helps us to recognize that these people in each photo faced the same reality we do, one that is in vivid detail and in color.
I need your help!
To continue this most important work, I need your help. This project consumes a substantial amount of time. Each individual restoration + colorization takes 10-40 hours to complete from start to finish. I would love to dedicate all of my time to continue this effort to preserve and bring awareness to history. That is why I've started a Patreon to seek financial support for this project going forward. Please visit my Patreon page for extended information about how your funding can help to preserve and showcase these beautiful portraits.
Thank you for your help, consideration, and support for my project!

You look into their eyes and you see a person, not some random page in a history book.

I used to do photo restorations, if they are "fudging" at all it would be in shaving time off of how long it really took, but luckily most of these didn't sport too much difficult work to repair. One badly damaged image can easily take 8 to 16 working hours to repair and colorize, or even more. Colorizing time just depends on the image and the artist, but it can take even more time than making dozens of tiny invisible repairs.

It was a once in a lifetime thing. So, they are taking it serious. 2) Didn't you see the uniforms? It was during the Civil War, the nation was divided, the brutality of war, life was uncertain, death, killing, families torn apart, freedom tested...and more death. They sacrificed everything so you could have freedom today. They deserve respect, not pity.

I love the video but I'm confused when it says these photographs were taken from 1845-1860.

Lovely. Nice effect, the shadow moving across, revealing the color in it's wake.

My poor people. I really feel for my fellow African descendants who had to survive America at this time.

You do realize the civil war didn’t start until 1861 right? You say the images were captured from 1845-1860...

Learn from your history America. How easy it is to hate people because of your skin colour. Be kind. Remember your past.

@misskim2058 3 года назад

It’s only “easy” for hateful people, it’s absolutely impossible for loving people to hate anyone for their skin color, or for any other silly reason. And most people just don’t think of others in skin tones. The media would love you to believe that they do, it helps keep people divided, at least, for people who fall for that sort of thing. TV-watchers are the most prone to live in that twisted mentality, because it is spoonfed to them, and they eat it up-just like little babies. Everybody else lives outside that realm... You know, where people are either nice or rude, agreeable or stubborn, that sort of thing. They prefer the nice and agreeable people, and they think of ways to help the rude and stubborn people grow up. Only mental babies make up reasons to dislike, let alone hate people.

The colorization of the African Americans is technically great, but that of the Caucasians looks like porcelain dolls: overlit, lack of sinovial folds, lack of skin textures.
