The film-emulsion photos are expertly developed with a special lab-tech assigned to me, then professionally scanned for top-notch results. Far better (and larger) than any scanner I could run at my studio. I'm always generous with time. Some shots don't need any adjustment. Yet almost any photograph can be made sharper & more graphic! It totally depends upon YOUR needs and questions and your complete satisfaction. How it can be made better for YOU. I love the creative & problem-solving aspects of the work. During my years touring California as a highly accomplished cellist, I always brought my Canon cameras with me. My photos sold from the very beginning, even as an extremely young man (19-years-old), and I attracted many patrons & clients. I'm a Photoshop whiz & there isn't anything I can't do, whether it's color-adjustment; photo-restoration; cropping; sharpening; converting to B&W; re-sizing; converting to a painting, you name it. Services also include special framing & mounting options when you're rushed for time *or* need a custom-made, surprising gift. I also can provide countless examples where I demonstrate "Before" & "After" profile shots for Facebook, or resume head shots. I'm "famous" for improving head shots and profile shots, color or B&W. I'm easily available to discuss your photos over the phone or in email, with all changes approved by you. They're YOUR photos and I'm here to serve! Whatever works best with your time & busy schedule. Be sure to ask to see "Before & Afters" if you have a special selfie of yourself or a treasured family photo which needs to be restored. I excel at that work! Everything is insured when mailed. Whatever puts you greatest at ease; for a highly-detailed project, or a straightforward photo-shoot request. I am a people-person and will not let you down. In fact, I've received over 90 photographic solo banner AWARDS (so many, I'm making a slide show!) which feature my photo work.

Post Script : WHY is film considered an advantage to analog purists like me : [?] ==Basically, *film* allows for superior developing options, AS IT IS BEING DEVELOPED, due to its emulsion. It has a richer and more-complex beginning, and the different types of film you can still purchase is mind-boggling. There are many decades of film-developing, going back to Kodak. It offers enormous nuance and depth-of-field.
