Photo service FAQs for Walworth customers
Could your team produce enlargements and poster-size photo prints, and how do I choose the most suitable size and finish?
Our team deals with this type of request regularly. A sharp, full-resolution source file gives the best enlargement, although we can assess older or smaller files before printing. Our printing page covers the service. We can compare practical size, crop, border and finish choices before you decide. We avoid unnecessary changes to original photographs, film and recordings.
Can your Highgate shop photograph professional actors’ headshots, and do I need to book in advance?
Our Highgate shop can help with this service. Actors’ headshots should look natural, current and suitable for casting use. We discuss clothing and intended roles before your actors’ headshot session. Studio photography should be booked so the right amount of time and preparation can be reserved. For rare, damaged or unidentified material, contact us before bringing the whole collection.
Could your team turn a favourite photograph into a canvas print, and can several files or sizes share one order?
Our team deals with this type of request regularly. Canvas works best from a clear, high-resolution image with enough space near the edges for wrapping. View our canvas printing options before ordering. Several clearly named files and print sizes can normally be included in the same order. We avoid unnecessary changes to original photographs, film and recordings.
Can your Highgate shop take graduation portraits for individuals and families, and will you confirm the session price before booking?
Our Highgate shop can help with this service. 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. For rare, damaged or unidentified material, contact us before bringing the whole collection.
Could your team scan developed 35mm negatives at high resolution, and how should old or unidentified film be handled?
Our team deals with this type of request regularly. Bring complete negative strips where possible and avoid cutting them into individual frames. Our 35mm negative scanning guide explains the digital-file service. Do not pull film from a cartridge or clean old negatives; keep everything protected for assessment. We avoid unnecessary changes to original photographs, film and recordings.
Can your Highgate shop restore a faded, torn or creased photograph, and what should I bring for an assessment?
Our Highgate shop can help with this service. 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. For rare, damaged or unidentified material, contact us before bringing the whole collection.
Could your team develop colour 35mm film with prints or scans, and do I need to book before bringing the film?
Our team deals with this type of request regularly. 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. Routine film orders are usually accepted without an appointment, but rare formats should be checked first. We avoid unnecessary changes to original photographs, film and recordings.
