A studio of one for damaged photographs and weathered home video. Tears mended, color returned, blur dissolved - by hand, with the patience an heirloom is owed.
Pricing starts where the work begins. Most photographs are returned within a week.
Tears mended, creases removed, faded color returned. Most family prints.
Black-and-white into believable color. Carefully matched to era and skin.
Tape transferred, stabilized, sharpened. From muddy footage to keepsake.
Soft focus, motion blur, low-res digital. Quietly brought back into the room.
A portrait of a companion who is missed. Often given as a quiet gift.
A short tribute composed from your photographs and home footage.
A small selection of recent pieces. Each was handled by one pair of hands, in the order it arrived.
Eleanor was photographed in Newark in June 1948. Water reached the corner of the print sometime in the 1970s; her family carried the damage forward, not knowing it could be undone.
A naval portrait from 1944, severely faded by decades of mantel-top sunlight. The color was reconstructed from era reference and a single uniform photograph.
Tomas, age four, in Camposol. A small tear ran through his mother's hand. The repair followed the weave of the print so the seam disappears.

Three notes from five hundred. Every quote is from a family who entrusted us with an irreplaceable original.
My mother is in this photograph, and she has been gone twelve years. I cried when I opened the file. There is no other way to say it.
They communicated like a tailor. Asked what I remembered, asked which version of him I wanted back. The print is better than the original was, somehow.
Sent the original on Sunday, had the file back by Friday. It hangs over my parents' mantel now.
