A photograph of medics from the US 5th and 6th Engineer Special Brigade helping a wounded soldier on to Omaha Beach during the D-Day landings in 1944 is so vivid after Amaral’s treatment that one can almost hear the howls of agony and the zip of the bullets.

In a photograph of a makeshift field hospital in Ca Mau, Vietnam, from 1970, you can smell the fetid swamp water.

Amaral, who lives in the city of Belo Horizonte, taught herself how to use Photoshop when she was 12 by watching tutorials on YouTube and experimenting. For years it was simply a hobby, but in 2015 she came across some colourised photographs of the Second World War on the internet and felt she could create something similar.
