Photo Restoration & Retouching

Do you have treasured old photos that are faded, torn, spotted, or stained? I can repair most damage to old photos and create a new print using archival inks and papers that will last well over 100 years! What's more I can repair your damaged image while still retaining the chatracter of an old photo. Many retouchers will fix damage, but at the same time they rob the photo of its patina and character. Its kind of like fixing a stain on a 100 year antique table by stripping it down to the bare wood and refinishing it with modern stains and varnishes! In the example on the left the customer wanted the distracting stains and spots removed but still wanted the image to look like a 50 year old photo. As you can see I fixed the damage but retained the grain and sepia tone that says "old photo". Do you want the photo to look brand new? Even add color to it possibly? I can do that too. Its all up to you.

Need more radical changes? I can digitally add a far off relative to a family reunion photo or add a busy executive to a board of directors group shot. I can fix blemishes, open eyes, even change the color of someones clothes! Use your imagination!

Due to copyright laws I cannot work on photos taken by professional photographers or studios unless you have obtained permission to do so (Most professionals will be accomodating, especially if its an old photo.). If the photo is over 75 years old then no permission is needed. Just contact me if you have any questions.
