#1 A Dapper Group On Their Way To Church, Chicago 1940

I was born and raised in Bosnia, and my love for art, especially photography, led me to start my journey in Germany in 1998, where I lived for a decade. I am passionate about bringing old photos to life, as it’s intriguing to see how they looked at that time in color.

To restore all the photos, I use Photoshop, which is quite time-consuming. Sometimes, I conduct research on the era of life, colors, etc., while other times I create a few different color versions and keep the one that feels best.

#3 Family Going On A Trip, Late 1940’s

In my line of work, passion, and skill are essential. At times, it can be challenging to restore a beloved photo that is badly damaged, but I always try my best, and if necessary, I get creative and recreate the missing parts to make it look seamless.

I would advise anyone pursuing photography to always take their time. A photo speaks volumes about the photographer and the subject, so it’s essential to put in the necessary effort. It’s also crucial not to let negative criticism discourage you, as it can make you stronger and better.

Through my work, I not only honor the past but also preserve it for future generations.

My art serves as a testament to the power of photography and the importance of preserving history.
