Restoration of photographs is an art form in and of itself. We’re proud of the restorations we have performed here at Strazza Gallery and our customers are delighted when they see their photographs brought back to life. We have restored very valuable photographs and we have also restored photos the value of which is found in more sentimental ways.
We restore: old photographs that have become brittle, faded, torn, water damaged, and more. We usually digitally restore photographs using high end digital scanning process of re-photographing old or damaged photographs. We then print the repaired photograph using very high quality cotton papers and archival process suitable for most restorations.

Old wedding photos restored
These two beautiful large wedding photos came to us recently from a couple who lives locally. The photos, as you can see, needed a lot of repair. Both were framed behind glass, one with mold, and the other one was stuck to the glass. Quite a challenge. It took some...
Interesting old photo restored
This very cool photo was sent to us from someone who has had it for many years. It was originally thought to be a tin type. That said, when I got it in our studio I saw that it was not a tin type, but at first inspection I didn't know what it was. The photo was framed...
Waikiki Sailor Photograph Restored
This beautiful 8x10 black and white photograph of a sailor was sent to us by a wonderful client that has worked with us before. It's a very precious family photograph. As you can see this print was probably folded at some point, maybe because it had to travel from...
Small photo restored and enlarged
This great black and white photo of a sailor with a plane came to us by a family member of the sailor. It is a small photograph, about 3x5 inches at most. It was very distressed and in need of restoration, but the customer also asked if we could also enlarge it. In...
Photo restoration print quality
One of the thing we like to show is the print quality of our photo restorations. John is a master photographer of over 40 years, and making beautiful prints is an important part of that. His prints are in museums and we use the same quality paper, and techniques with...
Water Damage Photo Restoration
This beautiful portrait came to us after having been water damaged. This one was difficult because the damage was still active and getting worse every day. Thankfully we did a high end digital scan the minute we got it, and that saved the day. Here are a few before...
Rebuilding and image for restoration
Sometimes it's just got to be rebuilt! We got this image in and the customer wanted the sailor on the right to be one his own in the photograph. It was just a 2" section of a photograph, and as you can see we had little to work with, but it came together pretty nice...
Navy Sailor Portrait Restored
This nice photo came to us in need of restoration. It is a nice 11x14 black and white with a little color added. It was cracked, and yellowing. Here is a small before and after of this restoration.
Wedding Photograph Restored
This beautiful 16 x 20 photograph came to us recently and it really needed some help, as you can see. It had turned yellow, and had some pretty bad water damage. It was also mounted on a board that was very brittle, and it could not be flattened at all or it would...
Wedding Photo Restored
This beautiful portrait came to us in great need or restoration. It had mistakenly been stepped on, and broken into several pieces. We had to re-photograph the photograph with as much of the broken pieces in place and restore the rest digitally. This is a high end...
