Life

Marina Amaral began studying international relations, which she gave up in 2015 in order to work. Amaral learned how to use Photoshop techniques in self-study.

Amaral worked with the British popular historian Dan Jones on the book The Color of Time. A New History of the World, 1850–1960 , which contains 200 contemporary photos edited by her. The book was published in summer 2018.

Amaral's coloring of the prisoner photo taken by prisoner photographer Wilhelm Brasse in Auschwitz in 1942 or 1943 of the fourteen-year-old Pole Czesława Kwoka attracted a lot of media attention in early 2018.
