Photo service FAQs for Thamesmead South customers
Can your Highgate shop arrange a family portrait session, and what should I bring to the session?
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. Bring suitable clothing and any meaningful props, and tell us how the photographs will be used. 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 do I normally need to order in advance?
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. Standard counter orders are usually walk-in, although a large or unusual job is best discussed first. We avoid unnecessary changes to original photographs, film and recordings.
Can your Highgate shop create business portraits for LinkedIn and company websites, and how are the selected photographs supplied?
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. The selected photographs and any included retouching are supplied according to the booked package. For rare, damaged or unidentified material, contact us before bringing the whole collection.
Could your team scan existing photographs as digital files, and will you confirm the price before printing?
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. We will confirm the selected size, quantity, finish and price before printing. We avoid unnecessary changes to original photographs, film and recordings.
Can your Highgate shop arrange studio photography for pets, teenagers or special occasions, and what affects the time needed for the finished images?
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. 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 digitise mounted slides and transparencies, and what film information should I provide?
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. Keep the film packaging and labels where possible, as they help identify the process and format. We avoid unnecessary changes to original photographs, film and recordings.
Can your Highgate shop improve colour and contrast in an old photograph, and how do I decide how much correction is appropriate?
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 discuss whether the aim is gentle repair or a more extensive reconstruction before editing starts. For rare, damaged or unidentified material, contact us before bringing the whole collection.
