Ever wonder what images of Abraham Lincoln would look like in color? What about iconic captures like The Burning Monk or the VJ Day, The Kiss? Swedish artist Sanna Dullaway has put her creativity to the test to restore and re-colorize iconic black and white images of the past.

What are your thoughts on bringing color to these historic black and white images? Does it give life to the scenarios and people within them or take away from their nostalgic quality?

Quick Tip: All Art Requires Courage

This was shot at F/1.8 @ 1/800 sec. using Canon5D MII.

“All Art Requires Courage.”-Anne Tucker

Tip of the Day: I wanted to elaborate on this quote, and explain how it affects me as a photographer. It is easy to gravitate towards poses that we know will produce a good image. However, it is important to push yourself to take risks. For example, with this engagement session shot I asked the bride to lie down on the ground. I figured it would either be amazing or look like sh*t. Taking these chances can be a very rewarding experience and keep you from succumbing to mediocrity.

How do you push yourself to expand your creative boundaries?

Quick Tip: Feed Your Creative Juices!

This was shot on iPhone 4s with Camera Awesome by SmugMug.

Quick Tip:Feed your creative juices! Creativity is like a muscle and needs to be exercised to stay in shape.  Don’t just rely on photography to bring out your expressive side. Prioritize other activities that cultivate creativity so you are “in shape”.  For me, dancing my butt off to house music does the trick.  Petra Cross and I do it up at Kaskade!
