You May Know These Historical Photos...But You've Never Seen Them Like This Before


Looking at old historical photos is like stepping back in time. However, many of the most meaningful historical photos were taken long before the invention of color photography. While beautiful to look at, these black and white photos are harder to connect with, since we’re all so used to living in a world of vivid colors.


This is where photo colorizer Dana Keller comes in. Keller understands the impact that a properly colorized photograph can have on viewers. His speciality is bringing historical photographs to life with the addition of captivating, accurate color. Check out his work in the examples below.




Louis Armstrong, 1946








Civil Rights March, 1963








Dust Bowl, 1936








Comedian Ernie Hare expressing thoughts on Prohibition, 1920

Harry Houdini, 1912








Babe Ruth, ca. 1920








Marie Curie, ca. 1905







The difference that a bit of color can make on these photographs is incredible. These were moving photos to begin with, but Keller breathed new life into them. For more colorized historical photos, make sure to visit Keller’s website and follow him on Facebook.
