RESTORATION

"I was a motion picture publicist for many years, 
and it was a pleasure working with Joel. 
He's a wonderful professional. 
He did a great job restoring my old pictures 
with me and the lions."

John, Westlake Village, CA

“Joel did an incredible job restoring an old 
but an extremely valuable portrait of my 
wife Linda. He made an breath-taking 
Canvas Master from a much smaller image.
Thank You Joel!"
Ray, Atlanta, GA

"I would definitely recommend Photography By Joel studio. 
He has a very gifted eye and is very patient with you.

TURN YOUR OLD PHOTOS
INTO BEAUTIFUL TREASURES


If you have photos from the past of yourself, parents or grand parents 
we can turn them into beautiful treasures. We offer a Free Consultation 
to determine the best pictures to restore, and we can help you 
to design the portraits that will look best as groupings as well.

At Photography By Joel we will personally work on your original image
at the studio, whereas many places will send them to another location. 
We feel that this is a very dangerous practice, because these once 
in a lifetime  images can easily get lost or damaged. Also, we 
guarantee that you will be thrilled with your restored image or we 
will redo it to your satisfaction, or return your entire deposit. 
We are serious about customer satisfaction.

Call 818-706-3778 today for a free no-obligation consultation. 
We hope to see you soon. Thank You.

What Should I do with my old family photos? 

Preserving family memories becomes more important as we age. Photos remind us of significant events in our families and communities, and they can create a priceless art collection. Here’s how.

Narrowing it down
Decide which photographs you want to display. Even if photos are damaged, photography restorers can work mini-miracles. Try grouping photos by a specific time period, event or theme.

Most old photos include color tones in black, brown, gray and off white. Match frames to these colors; or use gold, silver, or pewter. The style can be classic or ornate, and it be a complement or contrast to your furnishings.

 To mat or not to mat…that is a good question
Use traditional mats, or try placing the photograph on top of a mat. For added depth, affix a small piece of cardboard behind the photo before you place it on top of the mat. Some photographers create digital mats that replicate the look and depth of traditional mats, but they’re really part of the photo. These are great for custom colors and they don’t fade. In many cases, they cost less. 

Location and colors
Find a location that’s obvious, or intriguing -- bookshelves and small table tops. Avoid placing photographs near excess heat or sunlight. Small groups of old photos are more interesting when they’re near contrasting colors and textures — such as plants, flowers, plush fabrics, books, or wicker.

 Add something special to your old family treasures
Add another dimension to your photo arrangements. The world is full of unsung heroes, and some are in your family photos. Write a few words, or a quote that summarizes the qualities you want to remember about your family members. What did they say or do that was outstanding, endearing, or unique? Use calligraphy or water color to create this message, and then frame it next to the photos. Our memories will diminish, but these priceless photo art collections will increase in value.
