Photographer Spends 1000s of Hours Painstakingly Restoring ‘Unrestorable’ Photos And Here Are His 16 Most Impressive Works

This is beautiful.

She was a stunner.

What a stunning photo and a gorgeous lady

The restoration has truly brought this photo to LIFE!

👍good job, very good

Looks like it was taken yesterday...WOW

Something that I find odd about this one is, the people appear to be floating inches off the ground. However, this effect is in the original as well.

This guy needs to stop buying at cheap five and dime stores and get himself a real tie. Or give it back to his son...

Considering there was no a/c and it's Texas, I can't imagine wearing long sleeves and long clothes. I don't know how people survived in the south before a/c. It's an incredible restoration though.

This restoration is so good that my first thought was that they hired models to redo the photo...😂

This is one of the few colorization I like.

Looks like he has very light blue eyes in the original photo.

Amazing, brings out so much detail!

This is an extremely well done colourization. Many of these will fall flat since the colourist doesn't add enough variation in the colour, like there is in real life.

Wow

Incredible!

She came together a sweet little girl from the past revived

miraculous.

I keep thinking I see some of them holding takeaway coffee cups.

Hmm. The colorized version makes them look like wax figures in a diorama from Madame Tussauds.

Wow! Amazing

Good job

I can seee her!

LLOKS LIKE DARTH VADER IN THE BACKGROUND.

The chair looks so tiny!

Mary Todd would love this new rendition..I wonder if her dress was pink or blue or grey , even red stripes. Guess we will never really know. Yes it does look like Darth Vader on the statue plinth!

Which year Ohhh snap

This one really makes Mrs. Lincoln come to life, like a modern-day photograph can.

They should sell that jacket nowadays.

Smooth

I love old photos of people in their gardens, and that you placed roses in her hands.

Terrific job! Did you get the feet from a photo library or shoot yourself?

The missing pieces have to be the hardest to deal with. You have to create something out of nothing and make it look organic.

I know this is morbid, so I apologize, but I look at old pics like this and it's fascinating to me that this child has grown, had children, lived a full life, and passed away. Yet, in this photograph, she will forever be three years old. life is weird.

I actually prefer the restored black and white .

sweet l little boy. I am sure his mother treasured this photo for years. Why do I feel the child might have died young?

Good job on this one, the original is a wreck.

Interested to know the story of the Confederate flag laying on the ground...

Again, the colorized version has the "Madame Tussauds" diorama look.

does our flag have too many stars ?

Wow another old pic
