(Portrait of Iwata Oribe, chief of Kyoto patrol) （京都見廻組頭岩田織部通徳）

HORI Yohee 堀与兵衛

We can compare before and after to see how tinting a photograph, a post-shoot process, changes it. At first glance, it seems that these photographs differ only in whether color has been added to them. On closer inspection, we note, for instance, how the relationship between the subject and the folding screen changes and that the pupils have not been retouched in the colored photo. Those differences lead to the conclusion that these prints were created from different negatives made at almost the same time.
