FOREGROUND DETAIL OF WREN
HAND ALTERED CAMERA LAYOUT FOR "ENCOUNTER"  

 
 
RESTORATION PROJECTS
 
FAMILY TREASURE. FROM MOTHER TO DAUGHTER TO DAUGHTER. WATER DAMAGE, STUCK TO GLASS, TORN & MISSING SOME IMAGE.

I FIRST SCANNED THE PRINT RIGHT THROUGH THE GLASS SINCE IT WAS FUSED TO THE GLASS FROM THE WATER DAMAGE. I LIGHTED THE PICTURE, RESTORED THE MISSING IMAGE AND THEN CLEANED AWAY THE WATER DAMAGE SPOTS. THIS WAS REALLY A CHALLENGE.
     
MILITARY PORTRAIT ON FINE SILK. AGED, FADED, AND SLIGHTLY BRITTLE I REMOVED INCORRECT INSIGNIA AND ADDED CORRECT RIBBONS & PATCH. I RESTORED ALL THE COLOR TO WHAT IT WAS AT THE TIME ART WAS DONE. PRODUCED 3 PRINTS FOR THE CLIENT
     
DARK, SHADOWED, & OVER CROPPED PHOTO OF CLIENT’S GRANDSON I COMPLETELY CHANGED THE LIGHTING & CREATED IMAGE THAT WAS CROPPED. I ADDED A NEW BACKGROUND COLOR. THE CLIENT WANTED RED. I ADDED RED TO CHILD'S TONES TO BLEND IN.
     
THESE ARE JUST THREE EXAMPLES OF THE WHAT I CAN DO. ALMOST ALL OF THE WORK IS DONE COMPLETELY IN THE COMPUTER. GOT A FAMILY KEEPSAKE THAT IS BADLY DAMAGED....I CAN PROBABLY FIX IT.
