Mads Madsen is a history student pursuing a Master’s degree in ancient Greece and Rome history. Being obsessed with history, he has the best hobby a person like him could want colorizing old photos. His whole inspirations started after he saw some colorized pictures of the post on Reddit.

The colorization he saw was done all by hand with oil colors by an old lady. He got obsessed with it and started doing something like that on his own. He has his own criteria when choosing a photo for his project.

“I’ve always had a fascination with beautiful eyes, and that’s how I pick most of my photographs,” said the man. “If you look through my gallery, you’ll see that most of the eyes there are steely-blue or sky-blue, and they (hopefully) are framed beautifully by the surrounding color, contrasting with it really nicely. So that’s the main criteria.”
