Photo service FAQs for Lewisham customers
Can your Highgate shop arrange a family portrait session, and what affects the time needed for the finished images?
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. Selection, retouching requirements and the number of finished photographs affect delivery time. 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 which file or original should I provide?
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. Provide the highest-resolution original available and include the required size and quantity. We avoid unnecessary changes to original photographs, film and recordings.
Can your Highgate shop create business portraits for LinkedIn and company websites, and how do I choose the right type of session?
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. We can compare session length, setting and image requirements before a booking is made. For rare, damaged or unidentified material, contact us before bringing the whole collection.
Could your team scan existing photographs as digital files, and what print or digital choices are available?
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. The available output depends on the product, so specify whether you need prints, files or both. We avoid unnecessary changes to original photographs, film and recordings.
Can your Highgate shop arrange studio photography for pets, teenagers or special occasions, and can more than one person or look be included?
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. 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 digitise mounted slides and transparencies, and what usually affects the turnaround time?
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. Film type, laboratory process, quantity and requested output affect the completion time. We avoid unnecessary changes to original photographs, film and recordings.
Can your Highgate shop improve colour and contrast in an old photograph, and how will you protect a fragile original?
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. We scan the photograph carefully and carry out restoration on the digital copy rather than altering the original. For rare, damaged or unidentified material, contact us before bringing the whole collection.
