From single treasured photographs on paper, glass or metal to whole collections I will be pleased to assist in restoring
your photographs to their former glory producing archival quality prints in the darkroom as our ancestors did.                Conservation work including cleaning and repairs also carried out on original photographs and advice and supply of archival storage to ensure protection for the future.
All work is undertaken by me personally at my studio in Radwell, north Bedfordshire to the highest archival standards. Please call or email to arrange an appointment to discuss your individual requirements.

Following studies in Photography in New York and, on my return to the UK, Northampton Nene College, I sought to specialise in the Conservation and Restoration of old photographs and continued my training both independently through specialised tutors and Camberwell College of Arts.

Established in 1992 I have been honoured to work for such institutions as Woburn Abbey, Woburn Golf Club, the London Rowing Club, the Company of Watermen and Lightermen and Welbeck Abbey but I also work for many families and individuals throughout the UK who seek to preserve their photographs for the future and build their family archives.

I specialise in Conservation and Restoration using traditional methods and producing     silver halide photographs in the darkroom. I look forward to working with you.
