20 Amazing Colorized Photos of Native Americans

John Gulizia has applied his skills in image colorization to a variety of images of Native Americans throughout history giving them a new life.

John Gulizia of John Gulizia Foto FX specializes in portraits, image restoration, and colorization. It’s this last skill that he has applied to dozens of well-known pictures of Native Americans. The originals were created by some of the era’s most skilled photographers—Edward S. Curtis, D.F. Barry, Gertrude Kasebier—and even though we’ve seen them many times over, the transformation into vibrant color seems to knock the dust off them and give them a new life.
