Amazing restored old photos by Stuart Humphryes: "I clean & enhance them, but I don't colourise them (they were already taken in colour)"

It's funny how in historical films they have to deliberately mute the color to convince people it's the past.
Mean while people hundreds of years ago were wearing the most bright, Brooklyn hipster-style red pants

Pretty amazing.
Also some of the others in the thread could pass for Taylor Swift album cover. Esp the one of her walking down the beach where you can't quite make out her face.

Hate to break it you, but trash and pollution existed back then too and past garbage wasn't any prettier than modern garbage.
Yeah you can tell by the look the time they're from. Very classical and painterly, before things became more experimental and cheaper.
Also, any non-Twitter links to the photos? Why can't people just make a normal list or directory of things and then just link it to Twitter? Fucking Twitter lmao
Like they're awesome as hell but I'm clicking in and out of Twitter links for nearly every photo/before/after.
It's mostly infuriating on mobile, I can deal on PC.

Looks like he's using some machine learning to enhance details & sharpness for some of these, and while it looks okay, some of the artifacting is less preferable to the grit of the original prints. That said, it's the best we've got right now, and these look pretty damn phenomenal. It's truly captivating.
They look great, love seeing his stuff pop up in my feed.
Bingo. I couldn't place it but it totally looks like a celebrity instagram post.
Holy fucking shit.
I love this so much, thanks for sharing OP!
Seeing stuff like this brings REALITY to old photos in a way that I could never appreciate before.
Like, life looked just like it did to their eyes as ours does to contemporary eyes, but the media we've had accessed to never allowed us to see it that way.
This just gives me thrills in the best way imaginable.

This is amazing. There's something so unique to old color photographs. The tone, contrast, and saturation are unlike anything you get today without utilizing filters.
Dude straight up looks like a Batman villain.

Scrolling through that Twitter account shows some amazing stuff. Some of them look.... off?? But most are spectacular!
The French army went into battle in August 1914 wearing those uniforms. No camouflage - they were sitting ducks for German artillery and machine guns.
Within a year of trench warfare they'd changed the uniform to a grey/light blue uniform.
Mind blowing stuff. It's so hard to believe this was captured in 1913. Wow
I just tried retouching one of the untouched ones they posted and I have no idea how he got them to look so soft and clean
Hah, that's even funnier because I thought the world was black and white before the 1970's because of old tv shows. I was like 5.
