Disclaimer:

Note that any colourization/enhancements that I do are in no way meant to replace or detract from the original image, nor should any colours added be taken as 100% accurate. It is an artistic impression meant only to complement the original image, and to give viewers an alternate, more vibrant appreciation for the photographer's work.

​

Each image is painstakingly digitally coloured by hand using a digital pen and tablet, and I try to be as historically accurate as possible, with some artistic interpretation when applicable.

​

I think it’s also important to note that the original photographs were not taken in b/w by artistic choice, but by it being the only choice available at the time. Colour film was not yet available. Both Ponting and Hurley and photographers alike, all expressed how they wished they would have been able to capture their work in colour, and also experimented with crude colourization techniques available at that time.

I have no doubt that if colour film had been available at the time, both Ponting and Hurley and others alike, would have used it.
