Photo service FAQs for Dollis Hill customers
Can your Highgate shop arrange a family portrait session, and can more than one person or look be included?
Our Highgate shop can help with this service. A booked session allows time to discuss group size, clothing, backgrounds and the style of photographs you want. View our family portrait photography. Group size, clothing changes and different looks should be agreed when arranging the session. For rare, damaged or unidentified material, contact us before bringing the whole collection.
Could your team offer a choice of paper finish, borders and cropping, and what usually affects the turnaround time?
Our team deals with this type of request regularly. 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. File preparation, print size, quantity and finish all influence completion time. We avoid unnecessary changes to original photographs, film and recordings.
Can your Highgate shop create business portraits for LinkedIn and company websites, and how should I prepare for the photographs?
Our Highgate shop can help with this service. Business portraits can be planned around your profession, brand and intended online or printed use. See our corporate headshot and business portrait service. Rest well, avoid last-minute appearance changes and bring clothing that suits the intended use. For rare, damaged or unidentified material, contact us before bringing the whole collection.
Could your team scan existing photographs as digital files, and how do I choose the most suitable size and finish?
Our team deals with this type of request regularly. 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. We can compare practical size, crop, border and finish choices before you decide. We avoid unnecessary changes to original photographs, film and recordings.
Can your Highgate shop arrange studio photography for pets, teenagers or special occasions, and do I need to book in advance?
Our Highgate shop can help with this service. The session plan depends on the subject, group size and style of photographs required. Explore the different choices on our Highgate photography studio page. Studio photography should be booked so the right amount of time and preparation can be reserved. For rare, damaged or unidentified material, contact us before bringing the whole collection.
Could your team digitise mounted slides and transparencies, and can several rolls be included in one order?
Our team deals with this type of request regularly. Slides can be scanned for convenient viewing, archiving and new prints. Keep them in their boxes or sleeves and review our slide scanning service. Multiple rolls can share an order when each roll and its requested output are clearly labelled. We avoid unnecessary changes to original photographs, film and recordings.
Can your Highgate shop improve colour and contrast in an old photograph, and will you quote the work before restoration begins?
Our Highgate shop can help with this service. 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. A quotation is based on the visible damage, complexity and required output before restoration begins. For rare, damaged or unidentified material, contact us before bringing the whole collection.
