Photo service FAQs for Colliers Wood customers
Do you offer a choice of paper finish, borders and cropping, and what usually affects the turnaround time?
We offer this service and can explain the practical options. The available finish and border choices depend on the print size and source image. We can show how cropping may affect the composition before making your photo prints. File preparation, print size, quantity and finish all influence completion time. A short description and the approximate quantity help us give useful guidance.
What is involved when you create business portraits for LinkedIn and company websites, and how should I prepare for the photographs?
The process starts with checking the material and the result you need. Business portraits can be planned around your profession, brand and intended online or printed use. See our corporate headshot and business portrait service. Rest well, avoid last-minute appearance changes and bring clothing that suits the intended use. Where several choices exist, we explain the trade-offs clearly.
Do you scan existing photographs as digital files, and how do I choose the most suitable size and finish?
We offer this service and can explain the practical options. Clean, flat originals normally give the best scans, but delicate photographs should be left untouched for us to assess. Ask about scanning and printing from existing photographs. We can compare practical size, crop, border and finish choices before you decide. A short description and the approximate quantity help us give useful guidance.
What is involved when you arrange studio photography for pets, teenagers or special occasions, and do I need to book in advance?
The process starts with checking the material and the result you need. The session plan depends on the subject, group size and style of photographs required. Explore the different choices on our Highgate photography studio page. Studio photography should be booked so the right amount of time and preparation can be reserved. Where several choices exist, we explain the trade-offs clearly.
Do you digitise mounted slides and transparencies, and can several rolls be included in one order?
We offer this service and can explain the practical options. Slides can be scanned for convenient viewing, archiving and new prints. Keep them in their boxes or sleeves and review our slide scanning service. Multiple rolls can share an order when each roll and its requested output are clearly labelled. A short description and the approximate quantity help us give useful guidance.
What is involved when you improve colour and contrast in an old photograph, and will you quote the work before restoration begins?
The process starts with checking the material and the result you need. Fading, colour casts and low contrast can often be reduced without changing the character of the picture. Review the results shown in our photo restoration examples. A quotation is based on the visible damage, complexity and required output before restoration begins. Where several choices exist, we explain the trade-offs clearly.
Do you process black-and-white film, and how should old or unidentified film be handled?
We offer this service and can explain the practical options. Black-and-white film needs the correct processing route and may take longer than standard colour film. Check the formats and choices on our black-and-white film page. Do not pull film from a cartridge or clean old negatives; keep everything protected for assessment. A short description and the approximate quantity help us give useful guidance.
