We know many of the famous personalities, many of the famous events in black and white. In their time, there were no color photographs yet, or they were available only to a few. But Swedish artist Sanna Dullaway created color versions of world famous black and white photographs.
Even now there are authors who shoot (including people) in black and white. Among the most famous of these are celebrity photographer Anton Corbijn. Sanna Dullaway, on the other hand, turns old pictures into color.
Dullaway began to do this kind of work by painting his old family photos with Photoshop CS 5, "revitalizing", thereby modernizing his distant and not so relatives, as well as himself in childhood. But over time, he switched to world-famous photographs, which have long become classics, a world heritage.
Sanna Dullaway managed to modernize many historical figures and historical events. Winston Churchill, Ernesto Che Guevara, Fridtjof Nansen and many others, whom we are used to seeing in black and white, look at us from his works.
Dullaway's creativity opens up a new look at culturally significant objects and events. After all, we are accustomed to perceiving the past in a certain, black and white version. Sometimes it even seems to us that before the invention of color film, there was no color in the world at all! After all, we have not seen that world in all the glory of the rainbow palette!
But thanks to the work of Sanna Dullaway, from now on we can look into Churchill's turquoise eyes, Anne Frank's brown eyes, Che Guevara's green shirt and Dorothy Counts' pink bow, the first African-American woman in traditionally "white" high school in North Carolina.

This collection of photographs from Japan was seen in Europe in 1839 with the light hand of Liu Dareg, a French artist, inventor and one of the creators of photography.
