Fading
Recovering balance, contrast and definition from photographs that have become pale over time.
Photo restoration
Some photographs fade.
The memories don’t have to.
Time can leave its mark on a photograph. Fading, scratches, creases and lost colour can often be carefully reduced while preserving the character of the image you remember.

What can be improved?
Age tells a story.
Damage doesn’t have to.
Fading, scratches and years of handling can all leave their mark. Often, there’s much more of the original photograph there than you might think.
Scratches & marks
Reducing distracting scratches, spots and surface damage where the image gives us enough information.
Colour
Improving faded colour or carefully introducing natural colour to suitable black-and-white photographs.
Clarity
Bringing a little more definition back to softer photographs while keeping them looking natural.

Where restoration can lead
Restore it. Bring it to life. Keep it.
Restore
We carefully prepare the photograph and reduce suitable signs of age or damage.
Bring to Life
The restored image can become the starting point for your moving Rememoir.
A suitable restored photograph can also be prepared for print and enjoyed away from a screen.
Our approach
Restore the photograph.
Don’t reinvent it.
A restoration should still feel like your photograph. Our aim is not to make an old image look artificially new, but to reduce the distractions that time has added.
Still your photograph
It should always feel like the photograph you know
and love.
Natural over perfect
A believable result matters more than an
over-processed one.
We look at every one
Every photograph is different, so we treat it that
way.
Your original stays yours
We create a new digital version without changing
the original.
We’ll always be honest
Some photographs
can only give us so much.
We can often do wonderful things with an old photograph, but sometimes a detail has simply faded away or been damaged beyond recognition.
Where enough of the original remains, we may be able to carefully rebuild part of the image. We’ll always be clear when something has been recreated rather than simply restored.
If we don’t think we can achieve a result worth having, we’ll tell you.
It may not be beyond saving
Show us the photograph
you thought was too far gone.
Send us the best copy you have and we’ll take a look. There’s nothing to pay at this stage and no obligation to go ahead.
