People say traditional skills, and a “personal touch” approach to businesses are dying - and they’re not wrong!
But there are still some of us around… You just have to know where to look (and what to Google!) 😄

People are always surprised to hear these images (slide across) were created in our big white studio... no dark walls, no backdrops - just our infinity cove and a whole lot of lighting magic ✨

Kirsty uses well practiced lighting techniques to create these rich, dark, moody portraits straight out of camera - no Photoshop tricks, just years of experience and creativity.

30 years later... and these prints still look as stunning as the day we printed them 🎞️
⬇️
Printed in 1995 and preserved in a timeless leather album, these photos document the restoration of a 1982 Mercedes-Benz SL. A reminder that quality prints are made to last.

Today’s first job in the framing workshop: some maintenance on our existing tools, rather than buying new 💪🏽

From rolled-up and wrinkled, to wall-worthy. ✨ Sometimes all it takes is a little love (and a good stretch) to bring the beauty back to life🖼

We always aim to be clear with our clients, provide an honest review of how the canvas will look post-stretching, to manage their expectations.
It’s not 100% perfect- but it’s a HUGE improvement!

If you have something similar to frame/canvas stretch, simply book an appointment with our framer on 020 8599 0001 🔨

Vaisakhi 1999. Green Street, Forest Gate 🧡

The 35mm archives: A glimpse back in time - when the streets of East London were filled with colour, music, and celebration. These archive photographs by Verdi Studios capture more than a moment; they capture a feeling of togetherness, pride, and home.

Captured through my Dad’s lens these moments hold the warmth of a community coming together - bright colours, happy faces, and the unmistakable joy of Vaisakhi day.

27 years later, we look back not just at photographs, but at this unique moment in time, and the generations that made it special ✨

If you recognise yourself or someone in these images, we’d love to hear your story. Tag, share, and help us reconnect these moments with the people in them. 💛

📍Opposite Verdi Studios, 225-227 Green Street.
