Photo service FAQs for Bishopsgate customers
Can you take graduation portraits for individuals and families, and what should I bring to the session?

Clothing and available gown choices are covered on our graduation photography page. Bring suitable clothing and any meaningful props, and tell us how the photographs will be used. If anything is unusual, use our contact page before travelling.
What is involved when you scan developed 35mm negatives at high resolution, and how do I choose between prints and scans?
The process starts with checking the material and the result you need. Bring complete negative strips where possible and avoid cutting them into individual frames. Our 35mm negative scanning guide explains the digital-file service. We can explain resolution, file delivery and print choices after identifying the film. Where several choices exist, we explain the trade-offs clearly.
Can you restore a faded, torn or creased photograph, and can the result be supplied as a print or digital file?
Yes, this can be arranged. Restoration is carried out from a careful digital scan so the original can be preserved. Damage and complexity determine the work required; see our photo restoration service. The restored image can be prepared as an agreed digital file, print or both. If anything is unusual, use our contact page before travelling.
What is involved when you develop colour 35mm film with prints or scans, and can several rolls be included in one order?
The process starts with checking the material and the result you need. You can choose processing with digital scans, photographic prints or a combination of both. The current choices are listed on our 35mm colour film page. Multiple rolls can share an order when each roll and its requested output are clearly labelled. Where several choices exist, we explain the trade-offs clearly.
Can you transfer VHS tapes to convenient digital files, and what usually affects the turnaround time?
Yes, this can be arranged. VHS recordings can be transferred to supported digital formats for easier viewing and storage. Label each cassette and read our VHS transfer information. Running time, tape condition, format and any repair or enhancement work affect turnaround. If anything is unusual, use our contact page before travelling.
What is involved when you develop 120 medium-format film, and how should old or unidentified film be handled?
The process starts with checking the material and the result you need. We handle supported 120 colour and black-and-white films with scan and print choices. Keep exposed rolls sealed and see our 120 film developing information. Do not pull film from a cartridge or clean old negatives; keep everything protected for assessment. Where several choices exist, we explain the trade-offs clearly.
Can you scan 8mm, 9.5mm or 16mm cine film, and how do I choose the most useful digital format?
Yes, this can be arranged. Cine film is assessed by gauge, reel length and condition before scanning to digital files. See the available formats on our cine film transfer page. We can explain file compatibility and storage choices after identifying the source format. If anything is unusual, use our contact page before travelling.
