Artbreeder is the tool used to morphologically adjust the photos. The historical pictures are used to develop the structure of the face. A few other images are pulled in for their coloration and rendering style.

The coloration concept, below, takes the portrait and slightly brightens his complexion. Inspired by several black and white photos and a stamp engraving.

A selection from an album of old family photographs. It represents moments from my dad's service in South Korea around 1970.

This photo series has images from Seoul Station, in Suwon city, Sungnyemun gate, and the majestic waterfall bridge of Hwahongmun gate. We can see across picturesque farmlands, into higher elevations, with servicemen hiking by rocky rivers and paths. A helicopter takes them up, to observe more atmospheric landscapes.

Here are a few these historical photos of landscapes and landmarks.

Some of the photos have had color adjustments. Originally they have a blueish haze. Now, beginning to show a more natural tone.
