How it works

Adelaide Photo Restoration

Hi, I'm James — a Sydney-based photo restoration specialist with over 13 years of experience bringing precious photographs back to life.

Your old, damaged or faded photographs hold memories worth keeping. Working together with Frames & Finishes in Unley, I bring them back to life — with expert hand-restoration that's sensitive to the era of the original and committed to outstanding quality.

Frames & Finishes is equipped with a professional scanner, capturing every detail of the original image to ensure the best possible result. And because they also print in-house, your complete restoration — from scan to finished print to frame — is handled entirely under one roof.

What customers say

"The images look fantastic and I'm very happy with them! They look extremely realistic and very well coloured. I really look forward to giving them as a present."

Daniel Z — Woodville North, Adelaide SA

"I gave Flashback two 1800s photos of my grandparents which were in a very poor condition. I could not believe how they have come up, with a clear picture of how Annie and David actually looked. Highly recommended!"

Janice Coleman Evans — Collaroy Plateau NSW

"A photo of my father as a young lad and a couple of old photos from the late 1800s had seen better days. One was in very poor condition and I was amazed at the transformation. James did an excellent job bringing all of them back to life."
