Forrest
Photography & Graphics is a professional
photo service licensed since the late 1960's,
whose primary interest is in photo restoration and
photojournalism.
All
work done in-house
and NOT sent out as with some drug stores
and other businesses. We handle each antique photo
with extreme care to prevent any further damage.
Our reproductions are made from high quality archival
museum quality materials. Finished prints are long-lasting
and will not fade if displayed under normal conditions.
Unlike
in-store processing equipment, we can provide multiple
services on your cherished photo with individual
attention to each picture. Our own custom large
format scanning techniques, state-of-the art equipment
and software gives the highest quality digital images
for restoration. Our process is
environmentally
friendly, not using harsh chemicals to be disposed
of after use. We recycle.
Your
photos always receive our special individual and
undivided attention! Once you photos are restored,
we retain your digital files on our computer system
for later reprints. You only pay for the restoration
once. No minimum order on reprints.
Since
we are a small business, we can offer you affordable,
quality, accurately restored photographs of your
family treasures at a reasonable price. See

GUARANTEE - All work printed to your specifications
and guaranteed to your satisfaction or you will
not be charged.

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.
