I love restoring old photographs (that are in black and white) and bringing new life into them. The pictures I restored today are mugshots. If you didn't know, here's a definition of mugshot: a photograph of usually a person's head and especially face, specifically, a police photograph of a suspect's face or profile.

I'd like to share with you some of the vintage mugshots of celebrities that I restored. What do you think, Pandas? Tell me which one is your favorite!

If you want to see more photos restored please comment and let me know what you would like to see next.

I can see Jeremy Renner totally playing him. They have a similar visual vibe to them.

He was arrested for "Seduction", which meant coercing a woman to sleep with you under promise of marriage. But it was later revealed the woman was in fact already married. So he was arrested again for adultery.

According to PBS: "The forceps used during Sinatra's birth caused severe scarring to his left cheek, neck and ear that ran from the corner of his mouth to his jawline, which was exacerbated by cystic acne as an adolescent, thus earning him the nickname “Scarface.” As an adult, Sinatra wore makeup to hide the scars"

They didn't call him "old Blue Eyes", because of his green eyes. Good job though. Growing up in Italy, I knew at least a dozen guys with the same generic facial features. Heck, I had a friend that could have been his brother, and I married his ex-girlfriend. 30 years later we are still together, but I wonder where he is. Handsome fellow.

He worked as a male prositute and his clients were usually married women. I saw that in a documentary. Before he became famous never did understand the hype with him he was a d**k

This was before X, so this is when he was known as Malcolm Little.

These should have a brief description of the charges. It would be MUCH more interesting!
