You’ve probably seen these pictures before. Abraham Lincoln, Winston Churchill, John F. Kennedy. But chances are you’ve never seen them like this.

The vintage artsy feel gets obliterated, while in its place emerges an air of mundane familiarity.

Perhaps that’s the main strength of Marina Amaral’s work. She exerts great effort to color historical photographs to give us a new perspective on great events and figures of the past.
