BLACK AND WHITE PHOTOGRAPHS BROUGHT TO LIFE

BREATHING life back into old photographs, these black and white images are transformed by colour. From Audrey Hepburn to the cast of Gone with the Wind, we are given a glance to how these historic moments would have really looked. These artistic photographs were created by American photo restoration and colourisation expert Wayne Degan, 33, after he decided to revive old black and white photographs by adding colour to them. 'I try to bring the image to life in a very detailed way,' says Wayne, of Bangor, Maine..
