Introduction

Hi - I'm Sam Baker and I'd like to welcome you to my website, where I hope to show you how your old, damaged or faded photographs may be given a new lease of life.

 

Mend that memory!

I specialise in the digital restoration, retouching and alteration of photographs. Most of my work is in the field of restoration, where I begin with a photograph which may be faded, discoloured, torn, scratched or stained and, slowly and methodically, reconstruct the photograph until it has regained its youthful glory. Every one of us has a few old family photos around, some very precious, where the negative has long since gone. By far the most cost-effective solution to this is to have it digitally restored.

Even if your photographs aren't damaged, you might like to have them altered in some way, or simply get them duplicated, so that you can display the copies, while safely storing away your precious originals.

 

What I can do for your photos

Remove scratches, creases and tears
Remove moisture or mould stains
Correct colour casts and fading
Give old photographs a modern look or contemporary images a dated look
Colourise black and white photographs
Incorporate elements from other images
Remove unwanted elements (e.g. power lines)
Sharpen the image or accentuate detail

 

Guaranteed Service

Your total satisfaction with my work is my number one priority and so, to that end, I charge you absolutely nothing unless you are 100% happy with the results of your photo restoration. For a fuller description of my commitment to quality and modus operandi, please read my service policy.
