Qualquer alteração em uma foto muda também a maneira como a percebemos.No caso de registros históricos, acho que os fotógrafos aprovariam, já que o objetivo era o registro – jornalístico – e o preto e banco não era uma opção, era falta de. Certamente teriam clicado em cores, se pudessem.
As imagens colorizadas imprimem vida à uma época que na nossa cabeça é acromática e tem um efeito interessante de um pequeno flash de realidade do passado, mesmo que em apenas um frame. Belo trabalho.
