Long before color-sensitive film was invented, Russian photographer Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky took 3 individual black and white photos, each with a filter (red, blue and green) to create high quality photos in full color. This self portrait is over 108 years old!

Is this really a self portrait? I feel like it would be hard to end up sitting in the exact same position. Every time after changing our the filters.

It’s crazy how much of an effect color has on our perceptions of the past. This mage makes that moment so real.

Reminds me of Red Dead Redemption 2 !
