Colorized Vintage Young Beauty III

Colorizing can often bring the subject to stand out using subtle colors in the clothes or background. The vintage photo itself suggest what colors to use.  Here is a colorized vintage portrait of an unnamed beauty circa 1900s where pastel hues in the dress is a natural choice.  I used off-white with a slight greenish hue (may not be apparent depending on how your monitor is calibrated).  Used a little creative liberty to put on an eyeshadow.  There have been colorized renditions of similar subjects using faded colors to retain the vintage look. It is not the same thing.  I don't subscribe to the philosophy of retaining the vintage look in colorizing. Like I said elsewhere in this blog, colorization is not about restoring.  It is not about the photo.  It is about re-creating a real-world scenario behind the photo.
