Photo service FAQs for Canning Town customers
What is involved when you photograph professional actors’ headshots, and will you confirm the session price before booking?
The process starts with checking the material and the result you need. Actors’ headshots should look natural, current and suitable for casting use. We discuss clothing and intended roles before your actors’ headshot session. We confirm the chosen package, optional extras and booking price in advance. Where several choices exist, we explain the trade-offs clearly.
Do you turn a favourite photograph into a canvas print, and how can I avoid losing image quality?
We offer this service and can explain the practical options. Canvas works best from a clear, high-resolution image with enough space near the edges for wrapping. View our canvas printing options before ordering. Use the original image rather than a screenshot, messaging-app copy or social-media download. A short description and the approximate quantity help us give useful guidance.
What is involved when you take graduation portraits for individuals and families, and what should I bring to the session?
The process starts with checking the material and the result you need. Graduation sessions can include individual portraits and photographs with family or friends. 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. Where several choices exist, we explain the trade-offs clearly.
Do you scan developed 35mm negatives at high resolution, and do I need to book before bringing the film?
We offer this service and can explain the practical options. Bring complete negative strips where possible and avoid cutting them into individual frames. Our 35mm negative scanning guide explains the digital-file service. Routine film orders are usually accepted without an appointment, but rare formats should be checked first. A short description and the approximate quantity help us give useful guidance.
What is involved when you restore a faded, torn or creased photograph, and can the result be supplied as a print or digital file?
The process starts with checking the material and the result you need. 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. Where several choices exist, we explain the trade-offs clearly.
Do you develop colour 35mm film with prints or scans, and will you confirm the service price first?
We offer this service and can explain the practical options. 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. The film type, number of rolls and selected processing, scans or prints are confirmed before charging.

What is involved when you transfer VHS tapes to convenient digital files, and what usually affects the turnaround time?
The process starts with checking the material and the result you need. VHS recordings can be transferred to supported digital formats for easier viewing and storage.
