Restoration and colourisation: breathing new life into your special photographs.
Photographic restoration and colourisation: bringing torn memories back to life.
Hi, I'm Lucy a photographic restorer, based near Tiverton, Devon.
Through online management, I restore and colourise precious photographs world wide, using artistic skills, editing each pixel by hand and then combining this with restore technology.
Its lovely to have old photos - sometimes the only pictures we have though are torn, stained and faded. I am passionate about lovingly restoring these sentimental items. As one of the leading providers and with my customer led approaches, I meticulously digitally repair each old photo by hand and will add colourisation to it too if wanted! I restore digital images each day and I never tire of seeing beautiful old photographs come to life.
I understand how precious your photographs, negatives and slides are to you and as a market leader I am ardent about providing a high end service to restore your photos. As business and technology moves on, I put my faith in the customer led approach and enjoy chats about the details of your hopes and ideas for your old photos and precious memories. They are all, very special memories and deserve the greatest of care.
I do all the edits, repairs, restoration and I colourise black and white photos carefully by hand, so as to ensure only the highest quality results. I can provide a print of your new restored photo too if you would like. Nothing is too much trouble to keep those special pictures safe. Your images will be delivered on a private client gallery, to ensure security. There you will be able to view the images before any payment is taken. You can easily manage and share the gallery of restored, cherished memories with friends and family members too.
Repairs, edits, clean ups and colourisation…

Welcome to our Restoration Services
Photography has the power to capture precious moments in time, preserving them for generations to come. It's a medium that tells stories, conveys emotions, and creates lasting memories. However, as time marches on, old photos can deteriorate, fade, and suffer from various forms of damage. That's where my restoration services come into play, combining years of experience, up-to-date technology, and the finesse of hand editing skills to breathe new life into your treasured images.
My Journey:
I began my journey into restoration years ago with a passion for preserving history and memories. The art of restoration intrigued me, as I realised that I could help a group of people reconnect with their past and the stories held within their aging photographs and heritage items It started as a personal project, restoring family pictures, and evolved into a professional endeavour when I created my own business.
Over the years, I've honed my skills, staying up-to-date with the latest technology and image editing techniques. I understand that the tools available to us today are lightyears ahead of what was possible in the past, allowing us to perform restorations on old photos with a level of precision and accuracy that was once unimaginable.
My Approach:
Restoration is both a science and an art. Its not just a Mon - Fri job, its a passion. I blend cutting-edge technology with the human touch of hand editing to bring your images back to life. My meticulous process involves scanning the original photograph at the highest resolution possible or working from a digital copy, I then make digital copies that serve as the canvas for my work.
Utilising the latest software and hardware, and information technology assets I can correct colour balance, remove scratches, tears, and water damage, and even repair creases and fading from your cherished memory. However, technology alone isn't enough. The key to a successful restoration is the eye for detail and the artistic sensibility that allows us to maintain the authenticity and character of the original image. Every project is a unique challenge, and I take pride in my ability to breathe new life into each photograph while preserving the essence and of the past.
Whether you have a vintage family portrait, an old wedding picture, or a cherished snapshot that's seen better days, I am here to help. My absolute commitment to quality and my dedication to the craft of restoration ensure that your memories will be preserved for many more generations to come. With many returning customers, my work speaks for its self.
