I gave Flashback Photo 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!
It is absolutely magnificent, I’m in awe of how it looks. I will certainly recommend your company to my contacts in WA.
Thank you, you’ve brought tears to my eyes, so many happy precious memories I can share with the rest of the family. I received the hard copy prints yesterday. Just perfect, thank you so much.
Grandad passed nearly 30 years ago and all we’ve had is a damaged black and white photo. We now have a colourised, perfectly restored image of him in our home. Incredible work. We are very happy customers indeed!
James from Flashback did did a wonderful job retouching my Grandmother’s photos and was extremely helpful, guiding me through the process from start to finish. I would highly recommend James to anyone wanting to digitise and restore their old photos.
“James has been great to work with! He provided a first draft and then over a single call made multiple edits until we got to the best version. Really personable, quality craftsmanship and reasonably priced given the restoration work involved. I’d highly recommend Flashback Photo!”
I hold a once in a lifetime aged photo that belongs to my best mate and unfortunately the photo had been sun damaged, faded and blotchy. I was somewhat convinced that the photo was not restorable, however it was my aim to find a means of recovery. End result, the photo was restored to its original state beyond my wildest imagination. I would sincerely recommend Flashback Photo to anyone looking for the highest quality imaging service.
I just wanted to send a massive thanks to James and the team. I received my document and it is absolutely beautiful. Also the framing that was chosen for me is wonderful and suits it beautifully. I would definitely recommend Flashback Photo for this kind of work.
You have done a great job. It’s little short of a miracle, what you have recovered.
A photo of my father as a young lad and a couple of old photos from late 1800’s/early 1900’s had seen better days. One was in a very poor condition and I was amazed at the transformation. Flashback Photo did an excellent job on bringing all of them back to life. He was extremely helpful throughout the entire process and I have no hesitation in recommending them for any photo restoration.
