PHOTO ENHANCEMENTS

It happens to all of us. We take pictures to remember and share. Unfortunately, some photos fail to capture a cherished moment, a unique experience. Others may need some restoration, retouching, or repair. Some may have something that detracts from the image and your memories.

Your photos can be digital brought back to life and restored to their original appearance. Photo enhancement and restoration will bring back cherished memories and family history, and can also make a unique and personal gift.

A little girl

We all know how difficult it is to take a picture of a child.
In the sample below, a little girl on her second birthday, playing with her toys. One snapshot captured her smile, but it was cluttered and out of focus. I used the image to create an "impressionistic", painting like canvas that is now cherished by her parents.

A 1920 portrait

This old monochrome portrait was in an oval frame and showed the signs of paper deterioration.

I cleaned it, removing rips and scratches, restoring it to its original condition. I purposely did not add colour since I believe that artificiality would detract from the "old" photo itself.

Tonquin beach

One day I was walking along the rugged west coast near Tofino and hiked down to Tonquin beach. I was dazzled by the beauty of the site. The weather was not cooperating and far from ideal for taking pictures. Regardless, I took a few. No one seemed to capture the magic of the site. So, I "brought" one of the pictures into my "digital darkroom" and worked with it. The final artistic rendition is very popular and I feel it captures the essence of a West Coast landscape.
