From single treasured photographs to whole collections I will be pleased to assist in restoring
your photographs to their former glory producing archival quality prints in the darkroom as our ancestors did.  Conservation work also carried out on original photographs to clean, repair and supply archive storage to ensure protection for the future.
All work is undertaken by me personally at my studio in Radwell, north Bedfordshire to the highest archival standards. Please call or email to arrange an appointment to discuss your individual requirements.
