About Your Perth Photo Restoration Specialist
In more than 35 years working as a professional photographer and retoucher, I’ve learned one thing above all: Family photos are priceless and expert restoration helps keep them that way. They hold memories, relationships, and moments that can never be recreated.
My work is about honouring those stories and restoring them with the care they deserve.
Expert Restoration You Can Trust
I’m John, a Perth‑based photographer and expert restoration specialist. As well as digital retouching, I’ve worked across portraiture, weddings, commercial and advertising photography, but photo restoration has always been the part of my work that feels the most meaningful. Every project is handled personally, so no rushed work.
Every photo has a story -
I help bring yours back to life
I’ve seen the impact a restored photo can have, the tears, the smiles, the sense of connection. These aren’t just images; they’re heirlooms. My greatest joy is helping others bring their cherished family photos back to life, at a price that won’t break the bank.
Helping families preserve their history with expert restoration is a privilege, and it’s why I treat every photo as if it were my own.
My Approach -
A Simple, Personal Process to expert restoration
Expert restoration is both technical and emotional. I combine:
- decades of photo restoration expertise
- a photographer’s eye for detail
- a deep respect for family history
Whether your photo is lightly faded or severely damaged, I take the time to restore it personally, ensuring it looks natural, authentic, and true to the original moment.
You’ll always deal directly with me. I’ll assess your photo, explain what’s possible, and provide a free proof before you commit to anything. Clear communication, honest expectations, and careful craftsmanship are at the heart of what I do.
How it all works
Restoring a treasured photo should feel easy—and it does. Whether you’re local, interstate or overseas, I have a simple, friendly process to guide you from upload to final delivery.
Start by digitising your image
If it’s a photo, slide, or negative, you’ll need to scan it first.
