Retouching

Retouching is the magic of hand finishing behind the photography.

Creative adjustment
This is where Lee takes a great image, and brings out its finest qualities. 
Perhaps a little extra contrast here, a little more colour there - but there's
so much more that can be done...

In the days of the darkroom this was called dodging and burning and now
in a digital darkroom with the aid of a computer the process is still much the
same – except there is less guesswork and it's very precise.

And if there is a skin blemish or two, then we can help – I won’t tell, promise.

The difference between a hand finished image and one that has come from
the camera can be truly amazing.  We’re not talking gimmicks or special effects.
Just great looking natural pictures that have a “wow” quality.  It’s what gives a
signature style to Lee's work.

Great pictures have the potential to be amazing - and that's just what Lee does.

Restoration
If you have a treasured picture that time has been less than kind to, you’d be
surprised how much life can be breathed back into it.  Fades, tears, blemishes...
they can all be worked away and a new version created.

Once the new version is finished, Lee can create a new print on a variety of
finishes that will outlast the original, with a copy on CD for safekeeping.

Don’t consign aging photos to a box at the back of the drawer.  Send them here
and you can bring them to life again.
