Bandit's Roost by Jacob Riis Colorized 20170701
From How the Other Half Lives. This image is Bandit's Roost at 59½ Mulberry Street, considered the most crime-ridden, dangerous part of New York City.
Jacob August Riis (May 3, 1849 - May 26, 1914) was a Danish-American social reformer, "muckraking" journalist and social documentary photographer. He is known for using his photographic and journalistic talents to help the impoverished in New York City; those impoverished New Yorkers were the subject of most of his prolific writings and photography. He endorsed the implementation of "model tenements" in New York with the help of humanitarian Lawrence Veiller. Additionally, as one of the most famous proponents of the newly practicable casual photography, he is considered one of the fathers of photography due to his very early adoption of flash in photography. -wikipedia
Colorized historic photographs enhance and refine the original black and white pictures, and make them come to live, giving them a new visual perspective. Each black and white photograph is professionally "painted" with the brilliance of color that's perfect for the modern home, office, and any other space that's prime for the art of colorful nostalgia.
“For images where the subject is a person as in the “Power House Mechanic Working On Steam Pump” image, I generally start by coloring the person, and more precisely the person’s head. Again, every element is a color layer. The skin is a layer. Sometimes, I even separate skin into head, hands, and feet layers, and if there are multiple people in the picture, they may also require separate skin layers depending on their ethnicity, etc. If the fingernail or toenail is showing, they would be on a different layer – look at your fingernail or toenail now, they are not the same as your skin color! Hair is a different layer, eyeballs are a different layer, lips are a different layer, eyebrows may be a different layer than the general hair layer. In effect, every element or set of similar elements should be placed in a separate color layer…..The “Power House Mechanic Working On Steam Pump” image has only 35 layers. My current colorized photo with the most layers used is the one I did for “Bandit’s Roost” by Jacob Hine, that one took 103 layers!….”
