As I mentioned in my last post, this is the progress I have made so far on this photo from 1908.
It is far from being done, but I'm pretty happy with the way it is turning out.

1908 Work In Progress
A customer recently dropped off this photo from 1908 of his grandfather and aunt. The original is a 16x18 photo with a cardboard background. He thought his grandmother hand-painted much of the color on it.
As this one is going to take some time to restore, I wanted to share what has been done so far.

From Orange to Original
This photo of a bride from July 1945, was suffering from the ravages of time. It had an orange-colorcast and a few missing sections.
The bride's daughter thought it was originally printed in black-and-white. After scanning and opening it in Photoshop, I was pleasantly surprised to uncover it was a full-color photograph instead.
Now this photo has gone from orange to original, and can proudly show off its true colors.

Paternal Memories - Part 2
Last time I shared the first of two photos that I restored for a memorial service that took place this week.
The following is another shot of my customer's father in his Naval uniform. The original, taken in 1961, is a 4x4, black-and-white photo with some fading and a lot of cracks.
After it was restored, the customer asked me to crop out most of the background and turn it into a portrait-sized 5x7 and 8x10. Now you can really see him in his uniform.

Paternal Memories
A customer recently lost her father and brought me some family treasures that were in need of a little TLC. She had a wallet-sized photo of her dad when he first enlisted in the Navy. It was well-worn and covered in tape.
She wanted to keep some of the "authenticity" of the original photo, but there was plenty of work that still needed to be done.
Not only was I able to breathe new life into it, but I was able to enlarge it to a 5x7 and an 8x10. I am proud to say that this photo was restored and printed in time for his memorial service this week.
Tomorrow I will share another photo, but this time he is in his dress whites.

From Flat to Festive - The Family Farm
I'm sorry it has been awhile since I've posted. My post-surgical recovery took a little longer than expected, and I've been busy working on several photos for customers.
This particular restoration is an aerial picture of a family's farm. It was taken in the late 1960s or early 1970s. A family friend owned a small plane, so they flew over and took the photo.
The colors were worn and it had a few cracks and creases. After a little time in the studio, this family's treasured memory has gone from flat to festive.

It's been a while
Sorry it has been so long since I have shared anything, but my kidney issues have made it difficult for me to spend much time in the studio....
