Hidden Figures...

Katherine Johnson, NASA ca.1960

I was commissioned to colourise this image of Katherine Johnson, one of the star names from the Hidden Figures biographical film released in 2016.

Being handpicked to be one of three black students to integrate West Virginia’s graduate schools is something that many people would consider one of their life’s most notable moments, but it’s just one of several breakthroughs that have marked Katherine Johnson’s long and remarkable life.  Johnson was an American mathematician who calculated and analyzed the flight paths of many spacecraft during her more than three decades with the U.S. space program. Her work helped send astronauts to the Moon. Sadly, Katherine passed away in February, 2020.

What my clients have to say

Wow! Your work is amazing and the improvement in over all quality of every photo is stunning. I feel like I’m seeing these old pictures of my ancestors for the first time. Thank you so much. This project is a gift for my family and I can’t wait for them to see it! They will love it.

Kimberley

Absolutely love the pictures that have been done for me – they are better than I thought they could be thank you. Friendly speedy interactions with Dominic, only took a few days for the pictures to be done – would highly recommend 10 out of 10 from me.

Theresa Courtney

Had a black and white photograph from 1946 coloured. Done in very little time but to amazing effect. Absolutely love it. Many thanks, 100% recommended and will definitely use you again in the future.

Ian Ball

Cannot recommend Dominic enough! He did such a good job restoring a photo of my great grandparents that had a huge crease, and added colour. Once finished, Dominic sent the photo and said he was happy to change any colours but it looked perfect how it was.

Lauren Beale

Dominic was friendly, helpful and professional and was more than happy to keep making small changes to the photos to make sure I was completely satisfied. The end product was amazing and my mum was over the moon; there were a lot of happy tears on Christmas Day.

Madison Shellis

Absolutely Fantastic. Very Friendly. Very Helpful and the results are Amazing. I highly Recommend Dominic Thomas for any colour work on vintage photos. You wont be disappointed. Plus well Worth the price.

Ash White

So thankful to Dominic for bringing my Nan and Grandad to life through his colourisation. He has made the whole process really simple and was incredibly quick. Would highly recommend!

Vicky Terry

Dominic’s work is not only incredible, it is of great value to so many people and will bring such joy. He colourised my Grandfather’s wedding photo to be used at his funeral and he worked quickly, sensitively and I can’t thank him enough. I will definitely be using his services again and would wholeheartedly recommend.

Lucy Pekr

Every colourisation I have seen has been to the highest degree of detail, even down to the research on clothing from the period. I wouldn’t want to take my photos anywhere else after dealing with Dom, he’s a true professional from start to finish, highly recommended.

Mylo Charlesworth

I would highly recommend Photo Revival – Dominic is very professional and did an exceptional job colourising some old family photos and retouching some damaged pictures too!
