A Dapper Group On Their Way To Church, Chicago 1940

Report

I was born and raised in Bosnia, and my love for art, especially photography, led me to start my journey in Germany in 1998, where I lived for a decade. I am passionate about bringing old photos to life, as it's intriguing to see how they looked at that time in color.

To restore all the photos, I use Photoshop, which is quite time-consuming. Sometimes, I conduct research on the era of life, colors, etc., while other times I create a few different color versions and keep the one that feels best.

    I like this. Sometimes a busy B&W photo can be overwhelming to look at.

    Why are people so overly critical?? It think they are great and unless you have something positive to say or have a professional critical or constructively critical comment leave it to yourself. This is someone's livelihood.

    But saying that some of the colors stand out too much or something like that may well be helpful. If I were to paint a picture, and someone found the colors jarring, I'd want to know.

    Part of my childhood was spent in South Carolina. A few of the Old back-road country stores like this were still around in our area. I loved them, they were endlessly fascinating to a kid. They're all gone now now, nothing but memories.

    Again, less saturation on some of the signs would have helped. And wasn't leaded gasoline red, not green?

    Looks exactly like the country stores from Appalachia(my home) to those back roads of shell in North and South Carolina. Vivid colors and all!

    Why is the gas GREEN? Was that an actual thing? Gotta love the porch columns. Otherwise, sorry... it's way overdone.

    Some of it is a little too bright, and I question the choice of colors, like the bright purple overalls.

    In my line of work, passion, and skill are essential. At times, it can be challenging to restore a beloved photo that is badly damaged, but I always try my best, and if necessary, I get creative and recreate the missing parts to make it look seamless.

    I would advise anyone pursuing photography to always take their time. A photo speaks volumes about the photographer and the subject, so it's essential to put in the necessary effort. It's also crucial not to let negative criticism discourage you, as it can make you stronger and better.

    The Black and white photo was poor quality but I did the best I could.

    Through my work, I not only honor the past but also preserve it for future generations. By breathing new life into old photographs, I create a connection between the past and the present and remind us of the beauty that exists in both. My art serves as a testament to the power of photography and the importance of preserving history.

    I am overwhelmed by the shades of blue.All of the colors are oversaturated. Clothes of the 40s and 50s were not so flamboyant. I remember couples wearing more conservative beige and light brown. The early 50s were a time of pastels and geometric shapes after the big shoulders of the 40s.
