Most Black & White photos colourised look like they have been changed but this does not plus he seems very modern. Its a very interesting story as well.

People really need to stop using that word for literally everything.

Have seen that top in River Island for 35 quid too.

It is a very modern looking pic alright though

I know a lot of people hate them, but I love colourised photos. They really bring the past to life in a way that black and white photos don't.

People hate them because they usually look rubbish your examples are excellent though

I love the photo of the car crash photo - "oh, we just crashed, let's pose!"

Some interesting old ones of Dublin here. Not as well done as the other ones though.

The ladies here were perhaps a little heavy-handed with their make-up on that day I fear.

I'd imagine getting the skin tones right must be one of the most difficult aspects of colourising B&W photos.
