Photo service FAQs for Hyde Park customers
Is it possible to create business portraits for LinkedIn and company websites, and how do I choose the right type of session?
This can usually be handled once we have checked the source material. Business portraits can be planned around your profession, brand and intended online or printed use. See our corporate headshot and business portrait service. We can compare session length, setting and image requirements before a booking is made. Please mention any deadline when asking us to recommend a route.
Can your Highgate shop scan existing photographs as digital files, and do I normally need to order in advance?
Our Highgate shop can help with this service. 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. Standard counter orders are usually walk-in, although a large or unusual job is best discussed first. For rare, damaged or unidentified material, contact us before bringing the whole collection.
Is it possible to arrange studio photography for pets, teenagers or special occasions, and can more than one person or look be included?
This can usually be handled once we have checked the source material. The session plan depends on the subject, group size and style of photographs required. Explore the different choices on our Highgate photography studio page. Group size, clothing changes and different looks should be agreed when arranging the session. Please mention any deadline when asking us to recommend a route.
Can your Highgate shop digitise mounted slides and transparencies, and will you confirm the service price first?
Our Highgate shop can help with this service. Slides can be scanned for convenient viewing, archiving and new prints. Keep them in their boxes or sleeves and review our slide scanning service. The film type, number of rolls and selected processing, scans or prints are confirmed before charging. For rare, damaged or unidentified material, contact us before bringing the whole collection.
Is it possible to improve colour and contrast in an old photograph, and how will you protect a fragile original?
This can usually be handled once we have checked the source material. 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. We scan the photograph carefully and carry out restoration on the digital copy rather than altering the original. Please mention any deadline when asking us to recommend a route.
Can your Highgate shop process black-and-white film, and what film information should I provide?
Our Highgate shop can help with this service. 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. Keep the film packaging and labels where possible, as they help identify the process and format. For rare, damaged or unidentified material, contact us before bringing the whole collection.
Is it possible to copy Video8, Hi8 or MiniDV camcorder tapes, and do I need to arrange the transfer in advance?
This can usually be handled once we have checked the source material. Camcorder formats look similar but need different playback equipment, so keep any labels and do not force a damaged cassette. Our video transfer guide lists the main formats. Routine transfers can be brought to the shop, while large collections or rare formats should be discussed first. Please mention any deadline when asking us to recommend a route.
