Photo Retouching & Manipulation

The camera never lies.... but sometimes, we can change what it says.

Do you have a treasured photo that could be even better with a few creative edits?

Whether it’s bringing a black & white photo to life with colour, removing an unwanted object, changing a background, or even adding a missing person into that all important group shot — we can help.


Using the latest technology and a careful, detailed approach, we transform your images so they look natural, polished, and ready to be enjoyed for years to come.

Are There Any Photos We Can’t Work With?

While we can achieve amazing results, there are some limitations to consider:

Black & White to Colour: The photo must be high-quality with good depth and detail. Very faded or blurry images may not be suitable.

Removing People or Objects: If the subject takes up too much of the foreground, there may not be enough background to work with convincingly.

Background Changes: To look natural, the replacement background should match the lighting and perspective of the original photo. Alternatively, we can soften or fade the background for a subtle effect.

Adding People to Photos: Both photos need to be taken under similar lighting and angles for a seamless, realistic result.

But don’t worry —  there’s a lot we can do! Get in touch, and we’ll analyse your photo and recommend the best way to achieve your vision.
