Photo Restoration How often do we look at old and sadly damaged family photos and realise that we're losing some of our very precious memories, and also part of our personal history? We look at the fading images, cracked and stained surfaces, and torn edges, and wonder what we can do before it's too late. Well, you've come to the right place, because saving your photos is what we do.

Photo Retouching Your wish is our command. We can also perform digital cosmetic surgery to show you in your best light: reduce or remove wrinkles, whiten teeth, even remove objects or people or completely change the background.

Michael puts light and life back into your old and precious colour, black and white or sepia photos. Photos that seem beyond hope can be repaired and transformed to preserve those wonderful family memories for you and your future generations to enjoy.

"I could not believe the result that Michael Collins produced with my grandfather's photo and other photos of his wedding. The originals were on some type of old chip board, badly stained, marked and breaking in some areas. (Circa late 1920's?) I admit to breaking down into tears when the transformation work was presented to me. Michael was able to capture my grandfather's exact likeness (according to my mother) and bring him back to life. I had never seen a good photo of him before this day, so really had no idea of his looks or character..." Belinda Hodge, Scarborough, Qld. More testimonials

"When I saw what you'd done to save my great grandmother's ruined photo, I just cried with relief. It's so good to know you're there for us, and more family photos are on the way. Thanks so much." Julia Gifford, Sunshine Coast, Qld. More testimonials
