I Love Restoring Old Photographs, And This Time I Decided To Restore 23 Vintage Mugshots Of Famous People

ADVERTISEMENT

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.

Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda. As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience. Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).
