Photo service FAQs for Stockwell customers
Can you take graduation portraits for individuals and families, and will you confirm the session price before booking?
Yes, this can be arranged. Graduation sessions can include individual portraits and photographs with family or friends. Clothing and available gown choices are covered on our graduation photography page. We confirm the chosen package, optional extras and booking price in advance. If anything is unusual, use our contact page before travelling.
What is involved when you scan developed 35mm negatives at high resolution, and what usually affects the turnaround time?
The process starts with checking the material and the result you need. Bring complete negative strips where possible and avoid cutting them into individual frames. Our 35mm negative scanning guide explains the digital-file service. Film type, laboratory process, quantity and requested output affect the completion time. Where several choices exist, we explain the trade-offs clearly.
Can you restore a faded, torn or creased photograph, and what should I bring for an assessment?
Yes, this can be arranged. 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. Bring the original photograph flat and protected, or send clear reference pictures before travelling. If anything is unusual, use our contact page before travelling.
What is involved when you develop colour 35mm film with prints or scans, and how do I choose between prints and scans?
The process starts with checking the material and the result you need. 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. We can explain resolution, file delivery and print choices after identifying the film. Where several choices exist, we explain the trade-offs clearly.
Can you transfer VHS tapes to convenient digital files, and how will the digital files be supplied?

Where several choices exist, we explain the trade-offs clearly.
Can you scan 8mm, 9.5mm or 16mm cine film, and what usually affects the turnaround time?
