Photo service FAQs for Kentish Town customers
Do you offer a choice of paper finish, borders and cropping, and which file or original should I provide?
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. 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 create business portraits for LinkedIn and company websites, and how do I choose the right type of session?
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. 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 scan existing photographs as digital files, and what print or digital choices are available?
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. The available output depends on the product, so specify whether you need prints, files or both. 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 can more than one person or look be included?
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. Group size, clothing changes and different looks should be agreed when arranging the session. Where several choices exist, we explain the trade-offs clearly.
Do you digitise mounted slides and transparencies, and what usually affects the turnaround time?
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. Film type, laboratory process, quantity and requested output affect the completion time. 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 how will you protect a fragile original?
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. We scan the photograph carefully and carry out restoration on the digital copy rather than altering the original. Where several choices exist, we explain the trade-offs clearly.
Do you process black-and-white film, and how do I choose between prints and scans?
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. We can explain resolution, file delivery and print choices after identifying the film. A short description and the approximate quantity help us give useful guidance.
