Photo service FAQs for Blackheath customers
Do you offer a choice of paper finish, borders and cropping, and will you confirm the price before printing?
We offer this service and can explain the practical options. The available finish and border choices depend on the print size and source image. We can show how cropping may affect the composition before making your photo prints. We will confirm the selected size, quantity, finish and price before printing. A short description and the approximate quantity help us give useful guidance.
What is involved when you create business portraits for LinkedIn and company websites, and what affects the time needed for the finished images?
The process starts with checking the material and the result you need. Business portraits can be planned around your profession, brand and intended online or printed use. See our corporate headshot and business portrait service. Selection, retouching requirements and the number of finished photographs affect delivery time. Where several choices exist, we explain the trade-offs clearly.
Do you scan existing photographs as digital files, and which file or original should I provide?
We offer this service and can explain the practical options. Clean, flat originals normally give the best scans, but delicate photographs should be left untouched for us to assess. Ask about scanning and printing from existing photographs. Provide the highest-resolution original available and include the required size and quantity. A short description and the approximate quantity help us give useful guidance.
What is involved when you arrange studio photography for pets, teenagers or special occasions, and how do I choose the right type of session?
The process starts with checking the material and the result you need. The session plan depends on the subject, group size and style of photographs required. Explore the different choices on our Highgate photography studio page. We can compare session length, setting and image requirements before a booking is made. Where several choices exist, we explain the trade-offs clearly.
Do you digitise mounted slides and transparencies, and how are the scans or prints supplied?
We offer this service and can explain the practical options. Slides can be scanned for convenient viewing, archiving and new prints. Keep them in their boxes or sleeves and review our slide scanning service. Scans can be supplied in the agreed file format and prints can be added where the service allows. A short description and the approximate quantity help us give useful guidance.
What is involved when you improve colour and contrast in an old photograph, and can several photographs be assessed together?
The process starts with checking the material and the result you need. Fading, colour casts and low contrast can often be reduced without changing the character of the picture. Review the results shown in our photo restoration examples. Several originals can be assessed together when each image and requested result is clearly identified. Where several choices exist, we explain the trade-offs clearly.
Do you process black-and-white film, and what usually affects the turnaround time?
We offer this service and can explain the practical options. Black-and-white film needs the correct processing route and may take longer than standard colour film. Check the formats and choices on our black-and-white film page. Film type, laboratory process, quantity and requested output affect the completion time. A short description and the approximate quantity help us give useful guidance.
