Restoration · Colourisation · Colour correction
I restore old, damaged and faded photographs, bringing back their detail, colour and natural look. I improve image quality. I enlarge photographs without losing quality.

I remove cracks, creases, stains, scratches and other marks of time, rebuild lost fragments and faces, and improve the overall quality of the image. An old photograph can become a beautiful picture again — for the family archive, for printing, as a gift or for a memorial.
Throughout, I keep what the photograph was kept for: the character of a face, the mood of the frame, the spirit of a vanished era. The restored file stays with you — to look at, to print, to pass on.
For me, restoration is a craft, not a mechanical job. Every photograph is somebody’s story, and my task is to keep that story from being cut short.
Photo restoration
Five kinds of work. Most orders need more than one of them at once.
Cracks, creases, tears, stains and missing fragments. I rebuild the photograph without changing its character.
Turning a black-and-white photograph into colour. I choose the tones with care, guided by the period, fabrics, insignia and decorations.
I remove red and yellow casts and give faded photographs back their true colours.
I remove blur and grain, redraw faces and raise the resolution so that the photograph looks good in print.
Replacing backgrounds, bringing people together in one frame, preparing a portrait for a memorial.
The list is not exhaustive: some orders do not fit any category. Send me the photograph — I will assess its condition and tell you what can be done.
Describe your taskDrag the handle — or simply tap the photograph.
Four steps.
Fill in the form: attach the photographs and describe what needs doing.
The price depends on the condition of the photograph and the amount of work, so I name it only once I have seen the photographs. My reply with the price and timescale arrives by email.
Once everything is agreed, I start work.
I send you the result. If anything needs changing, I make the corrections.
The quality of the source file affects both the result and the price. A couple of minutes spent on these tips can save hours of work.
The better the source image, the more detail I will be able to preserve during restoration.
Attach the photographs and describe what you would like done.
Restoration, colourisation and recovery of old photographs. I work from digital copies — the originals stay with you.
