A few words about photo restoration...
You may have photos tucked away, gathering more dust, mold,
mildew, and water spots and think they are beyond repair.
Bent corners, creases, scratches, spots, fading and missing
pieces are par for the course. Trust me, I've seen bad pictures,
and I've restored them. When someone cries as they look
at the transformation, then I've done a good job.Your original
photograph is never harmed, altered or modified. It is carefully
scanned to capture a high-resolution digital reproduction
of your original photograph. Then I give your original back
to you, where it belongs.
Using state-of-the-art imaging technology, the digital copy
is then restored - leaving your original untouched. I erase
the cracks, fill in the tears, remove the water spots, take
out the scratches. I rebuild corners that are missing, areas
that are obscured. I can make your image better than it
was originally if you like: add in details your image lacked,
or time has taken away; add color to a black & white;
crop out certain aspects of the image; place a subject in
a new background; take two subjects from different photographs
and make them appear together - digital magic.
Anyone can claim to be able to restore your photographs,
but make sure you see the quality upfront. Maybe you have
even tried this on your own. The results you may have seen
leave you disappointed - it just looks "not quite right."
As a professionally trained artist, I have worked with hundreds
of images and spent countless hours learning and perfecting
the art of digital image manipulation, alteration, and restoration
for eight years. The technology changes all the time and
I keep on the cutting edge of all the technological advances
available.
