Isabel and Andrew Blake contacted me about having this nice photo printed onto canvas. It was taken on their wedding/honeymoon down in Queenstown last year. She wanted the whole of the image captured on the front of the canvas so I extended the edges, with a semi mirror image effetc.
The mounted canvas measured 710mm x 530mm and looked great.

Dorothy dropped off this aerial farm photo in severe need of photo repair. The top part of the photo had a liquid spilled over it giving this red stained look. I was able to remove all the marks and enhance the colour. The original photo was 5 x 7 inch in size, but was enlarged to A3 size without losing any detail.

John heard about the great work I did with scanning photos and slides. This is a particulary interesting slide scan. Bomber XH498 was about to land at Rongotai Airport airshow, Wellington 1959. It came in too heavily and damaged it’s left wing and undercarriage.
John caught the image on camera. Here we can see the damaged undercarriage and fuel pluming out of a hole in the wing. The plane landed safely at Ohakea air base and was eventually repaired.
The slide was scanned at 4000dpi, to bring out all the detail of the plane and damage.

Angela, a regular customer, wanted a sequence of action photos made into a canvas printed montage. She had a series of photos of her husband racing on his mountain bike. We discussed the best photos to put onto canvas and did this three series piece.

Sharyn contacted me about having 5 faded photos restored. They were recent prints done in the last 10 years of family ancestors. Printed using the Fuji Pictrix printer, many of these types photos have severely faded within a short period of time.
Sharyn thought they were beyond help, but I was able to bring back nearly all the missing details, adding a sepia colour tone to give back that old aged look.

Troy Packer emailed me about having these two art works printed onto canvas. Situated in the Bay of Islands, New Zealand, Troy is an up and coming artist. One of his works titled “Little Taniwhas” won first place in the Northland 2010 Yellow Art Awards and is now displayed on the Northland telephone directory. He also took out the national title in the same competition.
Troy was looking for a quality printer to do his work and was very happy with the final prints of these two works. More of his work can be seen on his website www.troypacker.co.nz

Ivan called in with this photo taken in the 70s in need of photo restoration. Typical of many photos taken in the 70s and 80s, the image has gotten a progressively worse red colour cast to it. Fortunately, there was enough remaining colour left to bring most of the colour back without spending a lot of labour on it.
Measuring approx 9 x 12cm the image was enlarged to 8 x 12 inch without losing any detail.

Paula contacted me about the restoration of this photo. It suffered badly from fungal growth over the photo. Luckily the important portion - the dog’s face was largely intact. All the damage was removed, with a dark background used to hide most of the damage. Usually photos this bad are beyond help, but in this case Paula was very happy with the end result.

Neil contacted me about making a panorama photo print for him. Using his small Canon IXUS compact camera he’d taken this photo on Ururupukaka Island in the Bay of Islands, New Zealand. The photo printed to 900mm x 300mm and looked clear and sharp.
