Photo service FAQs for Lambeth South customers
Can your Highgate shop turn a favourite photograph into a canvas print, and how do I choose the most suitable size and finish?
Our Highgate shop can help with this service. Canvas works best from a clear, high-resolution image with enough space near the edges for wrapping. View our canvas printing options before ordering. We can compare practical size, crop, border and finish choices before you decide. For rare, damaged or unidentified material, contact us before bringing the whole collection.
Is it possible to take graduation portraits for individuals and families, and how are the selected photographs supplied?
This can usually be handled once we have checked the source material. Graduation sessions can include individual portraits and photographs with family or friends. Clothing and available gown choices are covered on our graduation photography page. The selected photographs and any included retouching are supplied according to the booked package. Please mention any deadline when asking us to recommend a route.
Can your Highgate shop scan developed 35mm negatives at high resolution, and can several rolls be included in one order?
Our Highgate shop can help with this service. Bring complete negative strips where possible and avoid cutting them into individual frames. Our 35mm negative scanning guide explains the digital-file service. Multiple rolls can share an order when each roll and its requested output are clearly labelled. For rare, damaged or unidentified material, contact us before bringing the whole collection.
Is it possible to restore a faded, torn or creased photograph, and what usually affects the turnaround time?
This can usually be handled once we have checked the source material. 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. Damage, missing detail, image size and the level of reconstruction determine the time required. Please mention any deadline when asking us to recommend a route.
Can your Highgate shop develop colour 35mm film with prints or scans, and how should old or unidentified film be handled?
Our Highgate shop can help with this service. 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. Do not pull film from a cartridge or clean old negatives; keep everything protected for assessment. For rare, damaged or unidentified material, contact us before bringing the whole collection.
Is it possible to transfer VHS tapes to convenient digital files, and how do I choose the most useful digital format?
This can usually be handled once we have checked the source material. VHS recordings can be transferred to supported digital formats for easier viewing and storage.

Please mention any deadline when asking us to recommend a route.
