You have a lovely romantic picture but there's some idiot pulling a moonie in the background. There's a picture of you all bronzed and beautiful in St. Tropez but you have a massive zit on your nose. You want a picture of you with all of your family, but your dad insists on pulling monkey faces and your siblings end up in a wrestling match when they all get together. Fear not!
We can iron out all of this stuff (not literarily mind, sorry). You've heard of celebrities being air-brushed for magazine shots? Yah? Well, whether you agree with this technique or not, we do it. We can erase anything that you consider 'undesirable' and we can also add a few discrete things here and there (my lips are sealed about what we have 'tweaked' in the past though, I'm all about customer confidentiality). It's sods law that you have a great picture but there's something ridiculous spoiling the whole thing, like bird crap on your shoulder or a black bit on your front tooth.
Another service we offer is what I'll call the 'drama-free-group-shot' which translates to: If you want a picture of all of your loved ones together but can never seem to get them all in one room, we are able to incorporate separate images to make it look like a genuine picture. I'm not saying things should always be done this way...as you would miss out on some cool (and hilarious/traumatizing) experiences, but it's worth thinking about if you'd like to give someone a nice present. There is another variation of this, which is to add a loved one who has passed away into a recent family picture. Often when the customer comes in to collect the finished canvas, it's moving because they get emotional. If we ever get a crier in here, I end up in bits too. All happy tears mind.
We also specialise in restoring old or damaged pictures, so we're talking creases, scratches, that sort of thing...we (well, I say 'we' but really it's my boss who does all the work! I am simply the mouthpiece ha) can clean up anything so that it's as good as new.
