Restore Old Photos - The Photo Restoration Co.

1. Based in the heart of Somerset but working with clients around the world to restore and add colour to memories of times past. The Photo Restoration Co. is the photo restoration and colourisation company based in the UK, restoring and preserving memories worldwide. We regularly post our work showing before and after comparisons of restorations and colour added to black and white photos bringing history to life! We not only restore photos but specialise in hand colouring black and white photographs to bring them to life. Combine those services with a framed print of your photograph and one of our presentation packs to make the perfect gift.

2. OUR SERVICES Photo Restoration Photographs can last for a long time if cared for. Handling alone will create some damage although it may not be visible straight away. You will definitely be able to see from the repetitive handling over many decades the damage that can be caused. Some photographs end up in frames and although they are not being handled they will succumb to the slow torture of UV light, even if not in direct sunlight they will fade and slowly the image will vanish into the paper they were developed onto. Damage can happen despite your best attempts to prevent it. Faded images often get a strange colour cast, lose contrast and in turn lose detail – this can be fixed but from time to time a certain amount of detail will be lost. We can help! – Using up to date digital technology to piece together and restore your photos will mean you also have a digital copy you can print again and again. All part of the service As part of the process we will sharpen the image to bring out details and features possibly unseen in the original print.

3. Photo Colourisation Photo colourisation is usually performed on a black and white photo, adding colour by hand to bring the photo to life. This can also be treated as a repair to colour photos that have suffered fading or colour shifts. Hand colouring or over painting was the easiest and most effective method for producing full colour photographs right up until the mid-twentieth century when Kodak introduced colour film. Thankfully the digital age means that we can now “reasonably” quickly and effectively produce a full colour photograph repair from a black and white photograph. Presentation Those Finishing touches that make a great gift – Once your photo is restored or coloured why not opt for a print? We can supply on it’s own, mounted or framed and even in a presentation box. Providing the supplied image is of a suitable size I can even print to canvas.
