Our Restoration Work

Monte Luke Photography Studio in Sydney has a long and illustrious history – now over 100 years – of doing this exacting work: repairing damaged photographs and photo restoration.

Preserving old photographs is important as they capture important memories and provide a window into the past. These photographs may be the only record of significant events, places, and people, and they serve as a link to our personal and cultural history. By restoring and preserving these photos, we can ensure that future generations will be able to appreciate and learn from them.

The restoration process involves several steps, including scanning the original photograph to create a digital copy, identifying and assessing the damage or imperfections, and applying various techniques to repair and enhance the image.

Our restoration techniques include repairing tears, scratches, stains, and other physical damage, correcting color and exposure problems, and removing unwanted elements or blemishes.

We create a high quality digital copy of your original image and restore using the latest technology combined with our vast experience.

You will be amazed at what we can achieve with even severely damaged originals – and we love sharing in the delight that restoring seemingly lost memories brings.
