"Bringing your treasured photographs back to life"

This photograph of 5 puppies in a tub was taken by a photographer friend of mine, Jude Gidney.

I spotted it on Facebook just after she had posted it. they looked so cute I just had to use them in a montage. So here they are, their "First Lesson - Fetch"

First Lesson - Fetch

   

Monday 09 November 2015


This badly faded photograph was brought to me by the proud father of his little girl.

His daughter is now grown up and this is her favourite photograph of when she was a child.

With her pending birthday, Dad decided to see if anything could be done to rectify the colour loss.


That part was relatively easy, what cause the headache was the hundreds of tiny cracks all over the surface. It reminded me of a broken car windscreen. You know when it shatters into thousands of very small piece.


Touching out all of them would have been cost prohibited so with the clients approval I added a canvass texture to masked them and gave the picture the appearance it was printed on canvass.

This lovely photograph of my clients late parents, was proudly displayed in the conservatory of her home. But unfortunately the sun light has bleached the colours and given it a blue tint.

This is something that unfortunately happens to photographs which are exposed to direct sunlight. However the fading can be rectified and the image transformed back to its original colours.

"My photograph had been displayed in my conservatory and the sun had faded it, it was a picture of my parents who have passed away so it was very sentimental. David very kindly came to my house and picked up, he very professionally restored it for me and now due to his brilliant work, it now looks absolutely fabulous. Thank you very much."

Its not often I get asked to photograph comparisons these days. But to be fair I did offer to do it.

These two photographs belong to the family of a very old friend. They were wondering if they were the same person.

It is very easy to prove that photographs of two similar looking people are not the same person. But very hard to prove they are the same person, especially if the photograph are taken years part and show the face at different angles.

 

However, the proportions and position of the facial features of these two are so very much alike that there is a strong possibility that they are in fact the same person. The one on the right being probably as an older man.

Several features are constant in a person as they age and do not alter unless traumatized.

In the animated image you can see the comparison lines I have used and the facial features of both men match. The only time you would expect to see this is with another human is if the subjects were identical twins.

Well I have restored photographs from Canada, Italy and New Zealand. But this one comes from Russia.
The photograph was taken many years ago, and shows a young boy with his grandfather. The young boy is now a grown man, who now lives in England and this is a very special photograph to him.
So my client, a friend of this young man wanted me to restore it for him as a birthday present.
I hope he likes the restored image and that it will take pride of place in this home.

These 5 photographs are the second batch I have had the privilege of working on for this client.

As you can see they are all suffering from wear and tear, some more than others.

I have not over worked these photographs, I have repaired the damage and retouch areas that needed it. You will also notice that several have been cropped.

This was done at the clients request and not something I like to do. But in this instance it has made better composite photographs, as the areas cropped out where of no value to the photographs.

A lovely WW1 photograph of this clients Grandfather with his beloved horse.

The mount has suffered from damp and the loss of a corner. The photograph was discoloured, marked and water stained. Plus someone had drawn dark lines around the  trouser legs and jacket.

I converted the image to black and white adjusted the levels to add more contrast and included some burning to bring out the dappled markings on the horse. Blemishes and marks where retouched. Finally I increased the height of the photograph, to meet with modern paper sizes, by stretching the top few inches.

This 1970's wedding photograph had faded over the years and had become a little scruffy around the edges.

I was asked to restore the colour and enlarge it from a 6x4 inch photo to a 10x8 inch print. Unfortunately the 6x4 ratio doesn't lend itself to a 10x8 without some cropping or as in this case stretching the height of the door and surrounding stonework.

I also retouched the bottom left corner to remove the black cone and grass.

These two delightful photographs were brought to me a couple of days after I had a stall at the Yorkshire Day Fair in Uppermill.

With a little TLC, I was able to restore the Black and White effect and remove the blemishes.

This is one of the most amazing photograph enhancements I think I have ever done.

The lady in the photographs came to me and asked if I could bring her dated wedding photograph up to date.

She explained that when her and her husband got married they could not afford a professional photographer and a friend of her father took the photographs.

 

My client was unsure what she wanted but sent me several modern day wedding backgrounds she thought would look nice. After I had explained the then having copyright restrictions on them, she became a little unhappy. So not wishing to lose a client I suggested I create a couple of backgrounds which were free of copyright.

 

The resulting two photographs on the right are the result.

 

My client liked them both and couldn't decide which one to have. So she ordered both.

Comments:

David Parker, Altered Images, gave helpful, professional advice and also listened to our requirements to refresh our tired looking, 35 yr. old Wedding photo.

Using his considerable skills and knowledge in photo restoration he has brightened up our photo and made my dress look white again.

We also discussed our preferences with him for a new background for our photo and David created two backgrounds for us to choose from, however, we couldn't decide which of the two backgrounds to choose from as they were both brilliant so we have happily purchased both photos showing a different background and they are absolutely beautiful.

Our favorite wedding photo of us both on our Wedding Day looks so special and refreshed.

We recommend Altered Images and we really do appreciate David's hard-work, especially as he fitted us in to get the photos ready for our 35th Wedding Anniversary in September 2015.

These two lovely old photographs are my client's maternal grandparents and as you can see Grandma has suffered some major damage. Whilst Grandpa is showing his age.

As they had been taken at different times and in different studios I agreed to make the look as they had been taken together so he could frame them and give them as a present.

Thank you David for scanning our Family photographs onto disk and retouching where needed. Photos are valuable as they contain memories of those loved ones we can't see, as well as reminders of treasured experiences. They were cared for, respected and preserved by you so that generations to come can learn who we all were. It brings to tears to my eyes thinking about my mum and granddad (whom aren't with us) and I am sure they would thank you too! I couldn't have chosen nicer people to do business with.

These three photographs are from a family collection of photographs that I have had the privilege of restoring over the last few months.

In the first one we can see that the colour as faded and detail as been lost in the bride's dress. But with some clever use of colour balance and tonal values I had been able to bring the detail and colour back.

The other two have suffered the passage of time and have become tatty with creases and folds. They too have been restored and now have pride and place on the wall for everyone to see.

I would highly recommend David.

This project was to restore three family photographs that had seen better days.

The first one had been in a wallet for several years and had faded, become dog eared and rubbed against the fabric of the wallet to create a pattern on it.

Pictures two and three had unfortunately had liquid splashed on them, with had in turn damaged the ink used to print the photographs.

 

But with some TLC we returned them their former glory.

Back in 1997 before modern technology allowed the organizers of races such as this to fit each runner with a micro chip which activated their own personal stop watch as they crossed the start line. Everyone's stop watch started the second the gun went off, and as this client who took part in the 1997 London Marathon it took 5 whole minute to reach the start line when the starting pistol set runners on their way.

So when he asked if I could correct his time on the official photograph of him crossing the finish, I was more than willing to assist.

This project is another for a regular client.

The top photograph restoration is her favorite wedding photograph. Unfortunately the light has faded the colour. so I was asked to restore the colour to how it was.

 Problem is, it's a bit of a guess when it come to the colours. It's usually that long ago people have actually forgotten the shade of the colours. So I always go with the presumption that the Bride's dress is white. So if I get that right everything else should fall into place.

The bottom photograph is not really a Photograph restoration. It's more of a remake of a Sympathy card.

My client lost her daughter at a very young age and this card was sent to her by a friend. The words she wrote inside the card are very moving and very personal. That's why I have not shown them. Also the poem The Hope Range is also very moving. Because of that it was her pride and joy and of great sentimental value.

As the card started to fade and wear a friend took it upon themself, to laminate it in order to stop the card deteriorating any further. Unfortunately due to the small gem stones on the face of the card it became stuck inside the laminator. You can see what happened in the photo.

So I was asked if I could do something with it.

The only thing I could do was to remake it from scratch.

And a very rewarding job it was to, when I saw the joy on her face as she opened the envelope to view it.

If a picture paints a thousand word, what does this photograph say.

I would love to know what these three cheeky monkeys have been up to.

 

I wonder if it was either of the two on the left of this picture who were responsible for the crayon scribbles. We will never know. for sure.

One thing which is, that with the help of Photoshop and quite a bit a patience I was able to remove the crayon retouch the damage and remove a little boy because nobody knows who he is.

 

The second photograph was a quick colour correction and then a repair to the water damage along the bottom edge.

I have also had two photographs enlarged and printed onto canvas. First class job and would definitely recommend him.

I did this photograph retouch for a friend and fellow crafter. Sara had taken the photograph on her phone of her stall at a craft fair we exhibit at. Her intentions were to use the photograph as a publicity shot.

But when she looked at it later on she realized that she had also captured  a gentleman's reflection in one of the mirrors, there was also a poster on the wall behind the stall.

 

So with a quick flick of my pen and a gradient fill the poster is gone. Then a little Gaussian blur to the reflection and the man's identity is hidden.

This beautiful photograph of a new born baby was posted on a Facebook group I'm a member of. The photographer had taken this studio photograph but was unhappy that the youngster's very dry skin was showing and the parents were asking if anything could be done to reduce it.

 

This was my contribution. I created a copy of the image added a slight blur filter and then blended the two together just enough to remove the dry skin but without loosing the skin tone and texture. I the masked out the eyes, nose and mouth to bring back their sharpness. I also changed the colour of the blanket as it was so close in colour to the baby's skin colour.

"We found David through Google and called him on the weekend.
We needed a photograph no larger than a postage stamp blowing up to 6x4 by the way it was 45 years old so you can imagine our concerns.
Our main concerns as you can imagine is there is no way to replace this one off copy as there are no negatives.

David put us at ease competent manner and gave us options on many aspects of the outcome of the picture, he is knowledgeable and most of all honest in his ability.


We thank him not only for his work and praise him on his cost as we thought the picture in our eyes was priceless yet David didn't charge the earth (very reasonable to say the least).


Next time we require any work of this kind (or should a friend) we highly recommend and would use without hesitation David's services.
Great person to deal with prompt, reliable and honest."
Many thanks.

Looking at old photographs with your mother can bring back happy memories.
Which is what happened when my client sat down with her mother one day and looked at an old family album.

"It's a pity they're is such a state." said the mother


No sooner said than my client brought them to me to see if I could do something with them.

I hope you like the result, her mother certainly did. She sent some more.

I had 2 photographs restored by David. One was every damaged. The results were fantastic and my mum was over the moon with them. Would definitely use this service again. David was very friendly and professional and the service was very quick and efficient !

This old photograph of workmen leaving after a long hard days work. Is part of our heritage which needs preserving.

So by restoring the colour and the retouching of the damage, I feel that the photograph has been restored to it former glory and will still be around in another 70 years time..

These two lovely photographs have hung in this clients office for several years and unfortunately suffered colour change, due to exposure to sunlight.

But all was not lost even though the negatives where.

"David scanned, repaired (some major repairs) and enhanced a total of over 160 old photos, mostly from the 1930s to late 70s for me which I collected today. The photographs are part of my Fathers collection which I am having restored as a surprise xmas gift for him and I cannot wait to see his face! He is going to be well chuffed with the work done and for the first time in decades he will be able to see the images as they were originally and in quite a few cases better than they were originally.
My thanks goes out to David for a job very well done and he has treated the restoration of the photos with great care and attention and I am looking forward to see the results for the next batch I dropped off today for repairs and restoration."

This lovely photograph from a regular client of herself and her husband. Unfortunately the frame had broken and needed to be replaced. but it was discovered that  it had become stuck to the glass of picture frame and was ripping the paper when they tried to remove it.

 

Fortunately I was able to scan the image through the glass and retouch the damaged areas along the bottom and on the lady's cheek.
