I will restore and retouch vintage photos
About this gig
I restore and retouch vintage, damaged, faded, or aged photos with careful attention to detail while preserving the natural look and character of the original image.
My service can include scratch and dust removal, tear repair, stain cleanup, fading correction, contrast and sharpness improvement, facial enhancement, background cleanup, and preparation for digital use or printing.
I work well with old family portraits, genealogy photos, newspaper images, historical documents, damaged prints, scanned photographs, and faded black-and-white or color images.
You can choose light cleanup for minor wear, full restoration for more damaged photos, or advanced restoration with optional colorization. My goal is to make your photo look cleaner, clearer, and more presentable without making it look fake or over-edited.
Please send the clearest scan or photo you have, and Ill restore it carefully for personal keepsakes, family history projects, memorial displays, gifts, archives, or printable copies.

FAQ
What kind of photos can you restore?
I can work with vintage family photos, faded prints, scratched images, damaged portraits, newspaper photos, genealogy images, old scans, and black-and-white or color photographs.
Can you colorize black-and-white photos?
Yes. Colorization is available as an add-on or included in the advanced package, depending on the level of work needed.
What should I send you?
Please send the clearest scan or photo you have. A high-resolution scan is best, but a clear phone photo can also work if the image is flat, well-lit, and not blurry.
Can you fix torn or heavily damaged photos?
Yes, in many cases. Severe damage may require the advanced package or an extra charge depending on the amount of repair needed.
Will the photo look natural?
Yes. My goal is to improve the image while preserving the original character, not make it look fake or overly edited.
Can you prepare the image for printing?
Yes. I can provide a clean, high-resolution file suitable for printing when the original image quality allows it.
Do you restore faces?
Yes. I can improve facial clarity, remove marks, sharpen details, and carefully repair damaged facial areas while keeping the person recognizable.
