sepia photos

Antique-toned pictures

Sepia photos are photographs with a warm brownish tint, either from historical developing processes or applied digitally to evoke a vintage aesthetic.

The color comes from sepia ink, originally derived from cuttlefish.

Old photographs naturally faded to sepia tones, so the effect now signals nostalgia or age: She converted the portrait to sepia for an antique look.
