PRESERVE YOUR PAST

Sebastian’s work is meticulous - he restored and preserved photos, documents and letters with such care as to bring them “back to life”. Many of the items were not in good condition and quite old but his work created valuable and historical memories. Thank you Sebastian!

It was a real pleasure to meet and do business with Sebastian. Originally I expected the place to be just another photo lab but instead I walked into a real artist's studio was given a lecture on history and architecture of the Lower East Side illustrated with amazing historic photographs that I've never seen before, offered a glass of wine, had my photo albums inspected and quizzed on the history of my family. Sebastian explained clearly how the restoration process works and what the final results will be, and how much it will cost. He even recommended that I contact two other places to compare prices and services. Needles to say I was sold. It took some time for Sebastian to scan and retouch over three hundred photos, many of which I assumed to be beyond any hope, but he did an amazing

Last year Sebastian was extremely helpful with organizing and digitizing our family archive of thousands photographs, letters and documents going back for over hundred fifty years. This holidays my husband and I wanted to do something special for our father and asked Sebastian to use one of the old photos for the holiday card. Sebastian took care of everything. He made a perfect choice of selecting one of my favorite childhood photos of my father riding atop of a fire truck pedal car. He helped us to select the design, retouched the photograph, and using Shutterfly service had the cards printed and delivered right on time. I highly recommend Sebastian for any archiving, family history or photo restoration project you may have.

Sebastian did a great job restoring a photograph of my parents wedding. The picture was a tiny 4x2 and I thought it was hopeless but Sebastian was able to retouch all the damages and enlarge it to 8x10. He also emailed me a digital version in case I wanted to share in on Facebook or have more copies printed for the family. He's a real expert, wonderful to work with and the price for his services was very reasonable.

I have brought several old, falling apart photos to Sebastian, and he has worked digital magic on them, restoring them to a beautiful, high quality digital and physical prints, making it possible to share the past with people in the present. The price is not cheap, but it's well worth the quality. Sebastian works diligently, sends proofs partway through his work to request your feedback, and always follows up to make sure you are happy with the final product. He is extremely talented at his work, and I would recommend him without hesitation.
