Questions & Answers
Yes, its an excellent way to capture and send me your photograph. A well-lit, straight-on smartphone photograph can work very well. The better the digital copy, the better the restoration.SEE more on the Providing Your Photograph page
Yes, I personally handle the restorations and work directly with you throughout the process.I carefully balance restoration with preservation, retaining the character, texture, lighting and personality of the original photograph whenever possible. Every photograph is unique and deserves an individual approach. Unlike AI-generated results that may invent details or alter features, my goal is to recover as much of the original image as possible while honoring its history and meaning.See more about me on the "About the Artist" page

The goal is the opposite. My focus is on recovering and rebuilding the photographic detail that's been lost to age or damage, while keeping the result looking naturally detailed and true to the original. I do use AI-assisted tools and modern techniques as part of my process, but they're just one part of a much larger, hands-on restoration, never a shortcut that leaves a photo looking synthetic.
When appropriate, restorations are delivered at about twice the original photo's size, so you can print at its original size with full clarity. A High Resolution Output option for larger prints is available for 10% added to the image quote.See the Service & Pricing page for more information.
After the quote is approved & payment confirmed, most restorations take approximately 1–2 weeks. Complex restorations may take approximately 3 weeks. Rush service delivers in 2 to 3 days for 25% added to the image quote.
For now, I only offer this service to local customers in the North Bay California, SF and Marin County. Your restored digital file can be uploaded to your preferred print provider.
