What we restore

Many kinds of damage can be assessed.

The achievable result depends on the detail held in the original and any helpful reference material.

Faithful restoration philosophy

Keep identity and original character in view.

We work from what the photograph can support, using reference material when it helps and explaining limitations where detail is unknowable.

Good for

  • Black-and-white portraits and family photographs.
  • Images where original colours are unknown and restoration judgement is needed.

What you receive

  • A studio review before a custom quote is issued.
  • A private preview of the restoration work.
  • Revision allowance according to the issued quote.
  • A final high-resolution JPEG after approval.
  • Private photographs that are not automatically used for marketing.
