Portraits (samples of all our services can be seen by clicking 'What we do')
We offer several types of portrait from the traditional with the studio background or in a room or environment you are fond of, be it working in your kitchen or in your workshop.
Alternatively you can have a Modern Stylised portrait using a number of techniques such as mixing colour and black and white in one image, an example being the young soldier or the Hunt photo in the gallery. Or if you prefer you can have a number of images of the same person in the same photo, again illustrated elsewhere.Or how about our speciality (see the farmer and sheep photo) which was made up of at least 8 photos, carefully taken to be seamlessly blended together to produce a portrait that says a lot about where and at what point in your life it was taken, which isn't always possible in traditional studio portraits.
With all our services we will remove any blemishes, scars, acne, reduce or remove wrinkles, whiten teeth as standard or if you require us to reduce love handles remove tattoos or bruising or even change eye colour you only have to ask!To capture each family's portrait, we offer a FREE complimentary consultation with the family prior to the photo session. This gives us a chance to discuss details such as clothing, location, the time of day, and any props that will help make your session and your portrait everything and more than you imagined. It also gives you a chance to share any significant details, concerns, or obstacles that may need to be resolved to achieve the ultimate portrait.
On the day of your session I’ll no longer be a stranger which will make us all more relaxed and make for better portraits!
Our photo sessions cost £25 for which you will have my services for up to 4 hours if necessary although 2 hours is normally enough!
You can choose to have your finished portrait made into a beautifully framed photograph or if you prefer it can be made into a stunning wrap around canvas. The choice is yours!
Every family is special. We consider it an honour and privilege if you entrust us with the opportunity to create a family portrait for you that will grace your home for years to come.LIMITED EDITION PHOTOGRAPHS

Your own design is welcome (a small sketch and a note saying which image is the most important so it can be used as the main image) or you can leave it to us. Which ever you decide, you can view a sample before the final print is made.If you have a subject in mind for example your pride and joy (car or home etc) and you don’t have good photos that you could use, I will be pleased to quote for you a package price for the photography and montage which I’m sure will please you!
TRIBUTE TO A LOVED ONE
When you lose a loved one, be it a family member or your faithful family pet, we often turn to old photographs to bring back wonderful memories of the good times you spent together.
Why not have us create a lasting tribute to celebrate your loved one’s life using YOUR photographs?
We can do this in two ways.
What we do is this; using up to 9 of your photographs and text of your choice, be it a poem or something more personal, we will create a beautiful 20”x16” framed montage. This can consist of black & white and colour photos telling the story of your loved ones life. You will receive a preview of your montage for your approval before the final copy is produced.
Alternatively; if you have several dozen (or more) photos, we will create a Biography on DVD using not only your photos but also documents, medals, tapestries, poems, sayings, newspaper cuttings or anything which is important in telling the story of their life. Add to this their or your favourite music and you will have a totally unique and fitting tribute which you will treasure. The DVD can be viewed on your TV (via a DVD player) or on your PC. You will receive a preview for your approval before the final edit is produced.
OLD OR DAMAGED PHOTOS REPAIRED
We can repair all kinds of damage including missing sections and even those
that have been torn into several pieces!
Our pricing structure allows you to make a fairly accurate costing for your repair or restoration.
A simple restorationusually involves the removal of scratches, speckles and the restoration of the tonal vibrancy, contrast, lighting and
the enhancement of the colour or monotone shades.
Do you have a photo of a special occasion that's missing someone whom should have been there?
Or have you gota special photo that would be a lot more special if it didn't have that certain person in the centre or in the background?
We can add and remove people seamlessly (you will not see the join).
You may have a perfect shot if it wasn't for that cluttered background or fathers thumb across the lens or the camera strap ruining it.
We can remove or add objects to any photo and make it look as though that’s how it was taken!Let us have photos of people, objects or pets that you want us to add and we will seamlessly place them into your photos.
Let us change the background to that boring snapshot and make it look like you've been somewhere special!If you want to turn that old black & white print into a more interesting sepia tone photo, or would prefer that some of your more recent colour portraits were given a sepia tone or black & white ancient look.
We can even turn that old black & white photo of your granddad into a full colour image!Your favourite photographs can be made to look like oil paintings or watercolours, enlarged, rotated or reduced with a variety of effects.
In the not too distant past it was your precious original photos that were restored, if you got it wrong the photo was ruined! You’ll be glad to hear that is no longer the case. We simply make a high definition copy of your photo andwork on the copy using the latest high tech digital methods to bring your photos back to life.
