#Colorize photos professional#
I recently asked Aunt Daly about the photos because of an international scandal that touched on the ethics of history, art, technology, and consent: a professional colorizer who altered photographs from the Cambodian genocide. Copies, in color and black and white, occupy the homes of each Pa sister. The technician made negatives, hand painted them, and printed color photos. In the early 1980s, the photos made it to California, where the sisters immigrated as refugees. In the border crossing’s chaos, the album was lost, except for these two black and white photos. While they lost most of their possessions, they had saved a photo album until they fled to Thailand. Their parents and four other siblings died. My mother Vaty and her sisters Rany, Yara, and Daly survived the regime. My Cambodian family has two photographs that survived the Khmer Rouge genocide-one of my grandmother Vouch Khim Bout, and one of my grandfather Khour Tek Pa. In the 1980s, Tara Tran’s aunt asked a photo lab technician to colorize images of her parents, Cambodian refugees Vouch Khim Bout and Khour Tek Pa.
