Water-Damaged to Water-Wonderful

The studio has been busy and I couldn't be happier.

I was beyond honored to work on this photo that sustained water damage. When my client's husband retired from the Navy, he was presented with a framed photo of the ship upon which he served.

Even though the photo could not be removed from the glass without causing further damage, I am beyond thrilled with how it turned out. 

This photo went from water-damaged to water-wonderful.

From Bad to Brilliant

Photos provide a glimpse into the past. They can show us people and places that are no longer here.

Time makes it mark on photos, and if they are not taken care of, those memories can be lost forever.

The following photo had some cracks, scratches, and watermark damage when it arrived in the studio. Now it can be enjoyed for many years to come. It has gone from bad to brilliant.

I have finally finished repairing the water-damaged photos. There were 20 pictures in total. Some were beyond repair, a few could only be partially restored, and the rest were saved.

Here is a look at some of the last ones to be repaired.

Water-Damaged Photos - In Progress

I am almost finished restoring the water-damaged photos and can't wait to share some of the finished versions. Until then, here is an "in progress" view of a very difficult restoration.

The original photo details are distorted in areas, there is color bleeding, and a major disruption runs right through the middle. The baby's arms, hands, and belly will have to be recreated. 

Here is what I have completed so far. The middle section is the most challenging part, but I'm happy with the way it is turning out.

Water-Damaged Photos Part 2

In my last post, I shared some of the photos that were destroyed when my customer's basement flooded. Those precious memories are lost forever.

Although some of the details were beyond repair, the subject(s) in the following photos had enough left to do a partial restoration.

Note: Click on any image below to view a larger version.

Photo #1 

The bottom of this photo is severely damaged. 

I was able to restore the top half of the photo, including the faces of the main subjects.

Photo #2

A lot of the background areas in this photo had too much damage to fix.

The subjects of the photo, and most of the background were able to be brought back to life through a combination of restoration work and cropping out the damage.

Photo #3

The details in the background and bottom sections of this photo suffered the greatest loss.

I chose to replace the background completely, restore as much of the subject as possible, then crop out the bottom section that was beyond repair.

I can't wait to share some of the fully restored photos!

 

Sneak Peek at Water-Damaged Photos Pt 1

Here is the first look at some of the water-damaged photos I have been working hard to restore.

It breaks my heart, but the following are some of the photos that are too badly damaged and beyond repair. If no one else has a copy of them, they are lost forever.
