What a wonderful Birthday present! This beautiful family photo was restored and coloured for Tamara to frame and give to her father on his 91st Birthday (young lad centre, back row). Such gorgeous 1940s fashion! When coloured, one can feel the love, joy and pride emanating from the photo as if it was taken just recently.

This charming photo is of my Great Grandmother (right) accompanying HRH Duchess of York (better known as The Queen Mother), to Studley Agricultural College for Women. She was opening an exhibition and a sale to raise funds to keep the college open, after it had fallen into a terrible state during the war. It was around this time that some of the girls started to wear breeches under their skirts, which were eventually deemed 'appropriate' work wear for young ladies! Taken sometime in the mid to late 1920's.

I love this photo of my grandfather in front of his provision shop. A man who came from China to Singapore with wealth, but as so many, had everything taken during the Japanese occupation during WWII. But despite everything, he still managed to bring up and provide for his son then his 10 grandchildren.

I so love this beautiful portrait of my Grandmother in the loving arms of her mother, my Great Grandmother. Someone along the way hacked at it to fit into an oval frame and it had quite a bit of age damage, so we restored it and extended it to a rectangle. On looking closely you can see how we were able to bring clarity to the eyes to bring it alive.

This is a photo of my Grandfather, taken sometime in the 1920's soon after he arrived in Singapore from Fujian, China. He looked so smart, for what was probably his first photoshoot! The photo was in pretty bad condition with mould damage and scratches. Such a treasure was worth restoring and colouring to give it a new lease of life.

Derek's parent's beautiful wedding in the early 1950's. Hard to believe that what is now tons of concrete near Gaylang, was once this beautiful rural place! And what a fabulous old car...! The photo was badly damaged by mould, but we restored it and colourised it and it totally came alive!

The wonderful thing about getting people to rummage in their old 'tin boxes' is that treasures are sometimes found! I didn't know this photo existed! Only a few photos exist of my parents together before our Dad passed away at a very young age. It was a real pleasure restoring, extending and colourising this lovely photo.

Restored this photo for someone who's Dad was in the driving seat of this wonderful old Cold Storage van! The photo was taken sometime in the 1950's. Cold Storage was established in 1903 and is still one of the main supermarkets chains here in Singapore today. Anyone out there know the brand and model of the van?!

A little girl with her Grandmother walking down the Embankment in London to have a picnic on 'Queen Bodecia II' August 1946, two months after the post war victory celebrations. Originally a pleasure cruiser, Queen Bodecia II was one of the 'Dunkirk Little Ships' that helped evacuate many stranded soldiers from Dunkirk harbour. I believe it's still going strong, providing cruises .
For this photo we did a 3 step process, restoration, extension (at the base) and retouched it by taking out the group of bystanders.
