Over the years that we have been restoring and retouching photographs
here in New York, I thought that any alteration such as colorization,
removing background elements etc. was taboo, that every photograph
was a captured "moment in time" and should be restored as painstakingly
as a painting is restored in a museum. I still believe that. However,
I've found that most people who have images of a loved one restored,
do it as much for the memory as for the beauty of the image itself.
Our goal therefore is to give museum quality restorations that
satisfy our clients needs. Our satisfaction is twofold - the quality
of the finished restoration and the look on our clients' faces
when we show them the result.
The images selected here are meant to represent a range of problems
you may have with your pictures. They are not necessarily the
most dramatic before and after images we could show, but I do
think they represent the way we try to satisfy our clients' needs.
After all, the best restorations aren't necessarily the ones we
like the best - they're the ones hanging on our clients' walls.

The client for this project was reconstructing his family
tree. The image was found taped to a piece of cardboard.
Interestingly the teenager in the middle was his grandmother.
The image required facial restoration, much mold & scratches
removal and anatomical reconstruction. |

Given
the purpose of the restoration, I have created a duotone
to give it an antique (sepia) look. |
