My grandmother lived in London during the Blitz. Her stories always fascinated me as a child. I created a number of selective colourisation of iconic black and white images from period.

Every picture is unique. We all have treasured photos that we love, precious moments captured in time. Of mums and dads, grandparents, weddings, holidays and special family occasions.
Over time, old photos start to show their age, becoming faded, creased and damaged. Fortunately, most pictures can be brought back to life by photo restoration techniques, even colourised from black and white.. As the interest in family history increases, more and more people are choosing to have their special pictures restored, preserving them as digital images for their future families to enjoy.
I provide both an online and local service around Horsham and the West Sussex area.
Don't let those precious moments fade away!

What does photo restoration involve?
Restoring a photograph is all about enhancing and improving the original image.
The starting point is your scanned digital image. The first step is to repair any type of visible physical damage to the photo, like creases, folds and tears. Followed by removing any sorts of blemishes like scratches, marks, spots and stains. The final stage is to maximise the appearance by adjusting elements like contrast and brightness, colour balance, reducing graininess and sharpening detail where possible.

Colourisation
Colourisation is colouring an old black and white photograph to replicate the colour of the subject at the time the photograph was taken.
Selective colourisation is colourisation of a particular element, like people or cars leaving the rest of the image in black and white.
