We handle each antique photo with extreme care to prevent any further damage. Our reproductions are made by Giclee´ printing on high quality archival museum quality materials. Since we produce our own prints, changes can be made if the final restoration if it is not to your liking. Occasionally, we do collaborate with other artists for advice and hard-to-color reproductions to provide you with the highest quality work. Finished prints are long-lasting and will not fade if displayed under normal conditions. Large bevel/oval prints are a speciality. We have devised a special technique and equipment in whcih these old bevel prints are scanned to preserve as much of the photo as possible.

Restoration is recommended for photos that are in poor shape, torn or damaged. Your photos are digitally scanned on high end state-of-the-art computer equipment, retouched/repaired. In most cases a digital enhancement can produce a reproduction near its original quality. Old photographs can, depending upon original quality, be enlarged to show-never-before seen detail. All originals are scanned in Greensboro and are not out-sourced. Your original photo can be in the form of a print, negative or slide.

Restoration $55.00 (Min.) each photo

"My mother-in-law, Betty Jean Stansbury, was quite the artist. I never had the opportunity to meet her since she has been deceased for 31 years. My husband, John, had an original piece of art work she had given him when he was a child. It was stolen out of his house years ago. Over the course of the past several months, I was able to track down an original piece of art work she had painted that his brother had in his home, had it digitally photographed and emailed to me. I presented the photo as an attachment to an email to Tom Forrest. Tom said the original print must be in terrible condition because the photo showed water marks, streaks, etc., which I was not able to see on my computer. Tom and his expertise cleaned up the photo, enhanced the size and brought the picture back to what the original art work looked like - as if it were freshly painted!! The picture you see on the left is the result of the beautiful work Tom did - and, of course, my very surprised husband on Christmas morning! I want to thank you, Tom, from the bottom of my heart for the incredible work you did in helping me surprise my husband by restoring a piece of his childhood that will never be forgotten! May God bless you. Many blessings from a very happy customer -- Jill Piekiel "

ANOTHER COMMENT . . . . . .

"Your work has made it possible for me to preserve for my family and the families of others, several generations of photographs that were faded and lost forever. These photographs have now become part of a genealogy project that have been working on for some time.
In addition, the repair techniques you have used on torn, damaged and faded photos, bring to life figures that would have otherwise been lost forever.
We appreciate and recommend to others the work you have done for us.”
