RADFORD STUDIOS is Sydney's premier photo restoration studio.

We offer a range of services including digital film archiving, straight copies, retouching, full restoration, framing, frame restoration, prints from old and odd sized negatives.

We take the time to talk you through your restoration process offering helpful advice.

Christopher's background working at the State Library of NSW back in 1994 with its large collection of images is invaluable. Here he helped archive large collections of glass negatives as well as document everything from old maps of the Opera House to making microfilm from newspapers as well as printing some of Sydney’s famous shots onto archival fibre based papers.

The Process

First we assess your photos to see what can be done in regards to restoration. Some photos may be fine to be scanned and some may need to be photographed in our studio depending on the amount of creases and texture of the paper. Sometimes the silver halide that creates the image in a Black and White photo has become exposed to the elements and creates a metallic "sheen". This can be seen by tilting you photo in the light and viewing from different angles.

We are happy to give you an exact quote in person. You will have the sound knowledge that this quote will not change throughout the process.

It is important to us that the authenticity of your photograph remains intact. We use digital imaging as a tool and not a gimmick. You don't want your photo from the 1800's looking like a fake redo from the future. It is important to retain a style of the period the photo was taken. Keeping this in mind, we do not overdo contrast or colours if unnecessary. Being professional photographers gives us the skill to create photos that are realistic.
