retouching

Model School, Vancouver BC, 1934

This is a recent photo restoration project I did.  It took many hours but was so interesting. It's a portrait of an entire "Model School" in Vancouver, circa 1934.  The original was in rough condition - folded, torn and with various black paint (see especially bottom right) and other stains on it. 

The children are amazing - the faces, the diversity, the expressions and relationships, the hair and fashions!  I've included a couple of close ups, but there are so many little things going on in this big picture!

Retouching

I have been getting some requests lately for photo retouching, for clients who have old photos they want updated.  This is not a service I have offered previously, but is one I am able to provide and happy to discuss.  Do let me know if this is something I can help you with.  Pricing is dependent on the specific needs of each client for each photo.  Here are a couple examples of work I did for one client, who wanted to have individual portraits of herself and her husband, where previously none had existed.  Scans were made from decades-old photographs (photographer unknown), which I retouched and reprinted.
