“We are overwhelmed with the image and can't believe how incredible it looks. Tom went as far as saying that the restoration has made his whole year.”
Most restorers will only repair the damage in your picture (creases, tears, marks, fading); then they stop. This is ‘classical restoration’, because it restores the picture to how it looked before it came to harm. But if the original photograph wasn't very clear to begin with, was too light or dark or lacked fine detail, these shortcomings will still be there when they have finished. I, however - having first repaired the damage - can take the restoration to another level, working to recreate what the photographer saw (in all its glory) but couldn't capture with the equipment of the time. If you would like your picture to look better than just repaired, to see it come to life in a way it didn't before, or you simply want it enlarged without losing clarity, then this is what I do.
It is always best if we can meet (though not essential), so that I can show you what I could achieve with your photograph and explain the options.
