Authenticity and celebrating what makes us all unique are qualities that are important to me and show up in my work in many forms. It should be no surprise, then, that photo restoration has become a hobby of mine! Besides illustration, my knowledge of Adobe Photoshop CC as my main program of choice for 7+ years now has allowed me to take on the satisfying challenge of restoring and repairing old photographs.

​

In 2019 I got a request to repair the only two existing copies of a family friend's late wife--both were severely faded, discolored, and had damage to the husband's face. It was a tedious challenge but surprisingly therapeutic and rewarding in the process, and I'm proud to have been able to provide a service that can preserve someone's sentimental memories.

Since then, I've been seeking out other old photographs, especially ones that have bad fading, damage, or loss of detail. My knowledge of contrast, anatomy, and illustration helps me fill in the gaps and piece together that AI or quick fixes just can't handle for the same results.
