• Photo Restoration  & Retouching (Old photos made new again.  Have a scratched or wrinkled photo? I can fix it.)

  • Photo Restructuring*
  • *Another name for "virtual plastic surgery" where I lop off unwanted pounds, remove an unwanted chin or two, make a large schnoz petite, add hair to those balding pates, etc.  You get the idea.  It's cheaper than the real thing and one heck of a lot less painful!   In the photos below, this young lady wanted to see how she'd look 25 lbs. thinner.   No starvation or suffering involved.

    Some of the photos below were thought
    to be damaged beyond repair.

    (Helpful hint:  NEVER use Scotch Tape on a photo!)

    When kids write on photos, all is not lost.

    Can this old, neglected and damaged
    photo be repaired?

    THREE!

    Here I've put the girl from the left on photo #1 into one photo and combined it with the boy on the right in photo #2 to make them appear the same age in one photo.

    An old wedding photo which has "unwanted" guests

    Some people aren't always wanted in a photo, so it's easy to remove them!

    Now only "wanted" guests appear. 
    The client may choose black & white or sepia.

    If you want someone added to a photo who just didn't happen to be around when it was taken, that can be arranged.  There are two people in my high school reunion photo who didn't make it to the photo shoot but they ARE present in the photo.  Can you find them? The photo is located at www.farrockaway.com/1956.html and is right at the top of the page.
