I am a Mechanic Technologist turned photographer and digital artist. I specialize in restoring and colorizing old photos, as well as creating original digital art. I use photoshop to enhance the realism and beauty of my images, paying attention to skin tones and environmental details. My images can be printed on various products such as canvas, posters, towels, mugs, T-shirts, etc. My themes are very diverse, ranging from Hollywood stars to old cars, from rock stars to planes and trains. Restoring and coloring photographs makes me feel like I am traveling back in time and witnessing history firsthand.
