Restored Mugshot Photos of Famous People in History

Mugshots can live on long after someone has died, in many cases adding to the color and depth of their lives.

Artist Jason Baker takes famous mugshots, and literally adds color, refining the old photos and restoring them.
Here are some of the most striking ones, of movie stars, musicians, and those who stood up for injustice.

David Bowie, New York, 1976

“I love restoring old photographs (that are in black and white) and bringing new life into them. The pictures I restored today are mugshots. If you didn’t know, here’s a definition of mugshot: a photograph of usually a person’s head and especially face, specifically, a police photograph of a suspect’s face or profile. I’d like to share with you some of the vintage mugshots of celebrities that I restored.”
