Sepia Toned Hand Coloured Photographs

As an artist, Gregory G. Vikse enjoys the hands-on experience of painting directly on his prints. By highlighting the focal points, he is able to present an image that is unique and distinguishable from coloured photographs.

Originally used to make black and white photographs look more life like, hand colouring seemed destined for extinction with the introduction of colour film. However, the reports of its demise were greatly exaggerated. This unique art form is visually exciting and is here to stay!
