Geordie Wood hand painted

I found these lovely graphic photos on Oh Joy! The description said "hand painted photos" by Geordie Wood. I was thinking.. hand painted photos?? Like how they used to hand-colour black and white photos in the 1900s with colour tints?

For those as clueless as I am, the answer might be a little too simple! Geordie basically printed the photos (which were already looking great) and painted them by hand. No antiquated, fancy tinting techniques here, just a simple but great idea of adding a splash of polka dots in the background. Sweet!

Check out Geordie Wood's portfolio, especially the Broken Things section. Gives me chills, I like!
