Thank you all so much for another year of supporting our work. We are now 3 years into our rebranding (formerly ManCave Pictures 2015-2023). We are constantly expanding our catalog of sports legends we have brought to life in color and throughout this time we have often been asked what we do and how we create our images. Well...
WHAT WE DO
The legendary photographers of long ago could only capture a monochrome view of our sports heroes in action. In reality, they were all playing in color. So, we work every day to respectfully bring the colors they all saw in their viewfinders to life to be seen again as never before since.
We can even extract those legends from the original photo background to create images like the one you see below. A very cool and colorful look back 89 years at HOF'er Martín Dihigo on the mound for El Águila de Veracruz.
HOW WE DO IT
We carefully integrate dozens of varying and detailed steps to achieve the outcome you see. Beginning with exhaustive historical research into the players, teams, and colors, we then apply 30+ years of experience with intricate photoshop techniques and processes. Using our Wacom tablets we painstakingly repair the originals and digitally color the images. Layer... by layer... by layer. Finally, we creatively apply state-of-the-art AI refining tools to produce these very exciting and enjoyable images.
We love what we do. Thank you for your continued friendship and support. National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum Negro Leagues Baseball Museum GroveWood Baseball Museum Anyone's Game
