He wanted to celebrate 50 years of family life – not with just one or two framed photographs, but by bringing all of those memories together.

So together, we created three bespoke photo montages, designed to sit side by side as floating frame canvas prints – telling the story of his family in chronological order, from the earliest moments through to today.

Photographs Forever

Each montage was made up of dozens of individual photographs – over 160 in total – carefully enhanced and arranged to flow naturally from one moment to the next.

That really is the beauty of a photo montage. Instead of choosing just one image to display, you can include everything – the big milestones, the small moments, the forgotten snapshots – all brought together into one piece.

It becomes something you don’t just glance at, but something you live with.

You’ll often find that each time you look at it, a different photograph catches your eye – a memory you hadn’t noticed before.

The programme explores the dramatic race between archaeologists to uncover Egypt’s ancient treasures between the World Wars, including discoveries such as Tutankhamun’s tomb. Using newly colourised archive footage and photographs, the series brings this remarkable period of exploration vividly to life.

We were delighted to contribute to the project and thoroughly enjoyed working on the colourisation of these fascinating historical images.

As we move from winter into spring, many people find themselves turning their attention to things that have been safely set aside…

Old photographs often fall into this category. Carefully kept in albums, boxes or drawers, they remain important – even as time gradually takes its toll through fading, creases or surface damage.

High quality scanning and digital restoration allows these photographs to be properly stabilised and preserved, preventing further deterioration and ensuring they can continue to be enjoyed for years to come.

Whether it’s a family portrait, a childhood photograph, or an image you’ve simply been meaning to deal with for some time, we are always happy to assess suitability and advise on what may be possible.

Our approach remains careful and considered, with the aim of preserving the original character of the photograph while addressing damage that has developed over time.

If you have a photograph you’d like us to assess, simply send us a message and we’ll take it from there.

After something different? Ask us about our floating frames!

It’s also a good moment to check the frames you already have. Over time, we see so many photos that have become stuck to the glass, warped by moisture, or damaged when the glass breaks.

Our frames are built to last, using shatter-resistant acrylic plates instead of traditional glass. They’re clearer, lighter, and far safer for preserving your precious photographs.

Perhaps now is the time to finally restore that photo you’ve been holding onto and give it the place it deserves in a frame or on canvas.

Can’t decide between a canvas print or a traditional framed print? Our floating frame canvas prints offer the best of both worlds. Your canvas sits within a frame so it appears to float, giving a subtle depth and modern feel. You can choose a a frame in black, white, or natural wood – an easy way to display your photos beautifully without committing to one style or the other.

It’s also a good moment to check the frames you already have. Photos pressed against glass can sometimes stick, fade, or become damaged over time – and the longer it goes, the trickier it can be to restore them fully.

Sunny weather might lift the spirits, but it’s not always so kind to precious photographs, especially if they’re on display…

Bright light and heat can quietly damage your photographs, especially those framed on walls or sitting near sunny windows. Over time, details fade, colours bleach out, and in some cases, images can disappear almost entirely.

So as things cool down a little for the winter, it might be the perfect moment to take a closer look at the photos you have on display. If they’re showing signs of fading or wear, now’s the time to act – before it really is too late.

We can help you preserve and restore what’s there, so your memories stay clear for years to come. A little sunlight can do a lot of damage. Let’s make sure your memories don’t get lost in the glow.

The ones in the hallway. On the fridge. The ones you’ve kept tucked in a frame since they were five – even though they’re now twenty-five (or forty-five!).

These little portraits are more than just a smile on a backdrop. They quietly record the passing of time. And they’re often some of the most looked-at photos in the house.

So if you’ve got an old school photo that’s starting to fade, or one that deserves to be displayed properly, NOW is the best time to get them restored back to their original condition.

Maybe it’s one that makes everyone laugh.
Maybe it’s someone no longer here.
Maybe it’s just so unmistakably them, it’s become a kind of shorthand for your whole family.

We call these the “repeat favourites” – the photos that get talked about, passed around, printed for others, stuck to fridges, and pulled out of albums like old friends.

And if they’re looked at that often, they’re probably worth preserving properly.

If your favourite family photo is starting to fade, crack, or crease, we’d love to help you restore it so it lasts another lifetime.

Maybe not every photo needs restoring. But the ones we return to again and again?
Those are worth saving properly.
