Photo service FAQs for Soho customers
Is it possible to create business portraits for LinkedIn and company websites, and how are the selected photographs supplied?
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. 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 existing photographs as digital files, and can several files or sizes share one order?
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. Several clearly named files and print sizes can normally be included in the same order. 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 what affects the time needed for the finished images?
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. Selection, retouching requirements and the number of finished photographs affect delivery time. Please mention any deadline when asking us to recommend a route.
Can your Highgate shop digitise mounted slides and transparencies, and how should old or unidentified film be handled?
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. 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 improve colour and contrast in an old photograph, and how do I decide how much correction is appropriate?
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 discuss whether the aim is gentle repair or a more extensive reconstruction before editing starts. Please mention any deadline when asking us to recommend a route.
Can your Highgate shop process black-and-white film, and do I need to book before bringing the film?
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. Routine film orders are usually accepted without an appointment, but rare formats should be checked first. 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 can several tapes or reels share one order?
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. Multiple tapes or reels can share an order when numbering and labels make the sequence clear. Please mention any deadline when asking us to recommend a route.
