This three hour, one-on-one specialized training session, taught by the only Certified Master Photographer in the Carolinas, teaches you how to restore old, damaged photos. Learn how to crop, straighten, remove tears and wrinkles, replace destroyed detail, enlarge, correct color shifts, remove yellowing and other aging artifacts and more.
Restore your family photos or earn good money doing it for others. Your damaged photos will need to be sent to us via Google Drive, Dropbox or similar means for digital scanning prior to your session if you cannot scan them yourself. Photos from a phone are not of high enough quality, so they cannot be used.
