Photographs sometimes reflect the challenges that time has presented them:

- Faded photographs – even those very 'yellow' ones - can be restored to their former glory through the production of a quality negative and darkroom produced print

- Tattered and torn photographs can be repaired and new copies made and retouched using photographic dyes to restore the damaged areas

- Sepia toning: Authentic sepia toning (the brown tones) can be applied to produce a new photograph sympathetic to its years – it will also give greater archival permanence

- Hand colour: A sepia toned fibre paper print is made and photographic oils applied to provide a soft colour image. These are also known as Oleographs.

- Enlargements can be produced on matt or semi-matt paper to a maximum of 12" x 16".

All photographs are produced in the darkroom using traditional methods which will offer the same archival qualities as the original, ready for you to hand on to be enjoyed through future generations.

Often a new photograph is required.
Reconstructed and retouched to its original condition.
