Faded Baptism Photos

Baptism photos showing milky shadows, grey whites and a cast that drifts toward orange, magenta or cyan depending on the paper have almost always met dye layers breaking down over decades, faster in warmth and daylight. The fading sits on top of the image of an infant in a long white gown held by the godparents at the font, which is still there underneath.

Nothing in the baptism photo is redrawn for effect; the fading is treated as a layer to remove and the image of an infant in a long white gown held by the godparents at the font as the thing to keep. If the faded area covered the gown, the font and the faces of the godparents, the fill is inferred from what survives around it.
