The method of adding colour to a black and white photograph is referred to as Hand-colouring generally either to heighten the realism of the photograph or for artistic purposes. Hand-colouring is also known as hand painting or overpainting. Usually,watercolours, oils, crayons or pastels, and other paints or dyes are applied to the image surface using brushes, fingers, cotton swabs or airbrushes. Hand-coloured photographs were most popular in the mid- to late-19th century before the invention of colour photography and some firms specialized in producing hand-coloured photographs. 

These are a few examples of hand-colouring of photographs.

I particularly like this photography because it is neatly done and there are different shades of colour on the dresses, It looks realistic.

Colouring Of Photographs

This is the original photograph I took, I then edited it in Photoshop to make it black and white.

I then printed out the picture so that I could paint it.

This is the final photograph after I painted on it. I have coloured in the bricks in the backrgound, coloured the hair red and added some colour to her jumper, lips and eyes.

I like the wall the best about this picture, and if I were to do again I would be a bit neater in the lines of the hair and the lips. 

Overall I am happy with this painting though.

Final Photograph and the process of making it

This is the photograph I chose to do. It is a photo of two people merged into one, and I am going to try to do my own, using two different people (Megan and Dannielle). 

This is the picture of Dannielle I used

This is the picture of Megan I used.

I have taken a photograph of each of their faces, then used one half of each face, and put them both together to make one face.

I then had to edit it on photoshop to make the face shape more alike, and I had to reshape the facial features such as the mouth, nose and eyes. 

I also had to chnage the brightness and and clone some of the skin on to other parts of the face, so that it blended in. 

I also used the patch tool, smudge tool, blur tool, burn tool and I also changed the colour of the eyes, as one was blue and one was green, I changed them both to brown, so look moire like the photo I had chosen. 

This is the final photograph after being merged and edited.

I am pleased with my final photograph, because I think I have blended the faces together well.

If I were to do it again, I would make sure the lighting of the room was the same, as it would be easier to blend together, because their skin tones were different.
