Recent Photo Restoration Work

Its hard to believe that this image was first manipulated almost 100 years ago.

This family portrait was first manipulated in 1905 and then again in 2003.

In the original 1902 photo, the woman is pregnant.
At the age of 3, her daughter was added to the left side of the family photo.

I extended the image to make an 8x10 print and removed
a large post from behind the family.

Due to water damage, the surface of this image was very warped which preventing a high resolution scan. I was able to photograph the image using a digital camera to capture an image that could be restored.

The final 12" by 14" print was framed with the help of a local framing shop.

This is a 16 by 20 inch portrait of a clients grandmother,
was drawn in 1923 using charcoal and oil-based type "crayons."

The fiberboard composite the image was drawn on was disintegrating due to
water damage and pieces were breaking off at every touch.

The scanning services of an architectural blueprinting firm were needed.
We were able to lay the image flat, face up and use a high resolution
"topside" scanner while the brittle drawing remained still and safe.

After this restoration was finished and printed, it was framed with dark walnut
frame with light gold gilding by Eklectic Art & Framing in Columbus, Ohio.
