📸 - Scanning Negatives
📸 - Scanning Slides
📸 - Scanning Photographs & Albums
📸 - Scanning & Retouching photographs

📷 - I charge a standard rate of £16 an hour for scanning ONLY. I can usually scan around 60 - 80 photos an hour. Negatives & slides we're talking about 30 - 40 an hour because they take more time loading them up. If you're after high resolution scanning, half the numbers. Because the scanner takes longer to scan. I scan a standard 300ppi  for 6x4 photos, which is good enough for printing viewing on screen etc. The photo examples below are all scanned at 300ppi

📷 - If you want colour correction on photos & negatives it's up to £18 an hour & on average we're talking about 20 photos in an hour. 

📷 - If you want scratch removal on individual photos I charge £20 an hour. Depending upon the condition of the photo. It can take anything 5-10 minutes to a few hours. But I can give you a price on inspection of the photo(s). Minimum charge of £20.

📷 - Just wanting one or two photos scanned (up to 8 photos)? Minimum price £8 that's just scanning no work at all done on the photo. If you want colour correction £10 (up to 8 photos). For scratch removal etc see above £20 per hour. 

All photos will be saved to a pen drive, which if you supply MUST be an empty unused one. I can supply a drive but I'll charge you "cost" plus one pound.

Please note, the sharper & clearer the photo the better the effect. And sadly not all photographs are suitable for this process.

PHOTO RETOUCHING
Again please note not all photographs are suitable for this process. However I will give an honest appraisal on any photo needing this service.

Below is an example (my great grandmother) of a damaged photo repaired & colourised. Left slightly blurred because that was the style of the time.

SPECIALISED ONE OFF LIMITED EDITION PHOTO CREATIONS
In the future I'll also be offering limited edition specialised photo compositions. Also one off specialised photos of you or a member of your family photo comped into the scene. They won't be cheap, BUT you would be sure of having something very limited. Especially if it's YOU or family members in them, as these will be complete one off's.

Examples of some of the photo comps I've created in the past.
