Upload your photograph

Payments

When you are satisfied with the photo, I will email you the colourized photo and an invoice. Payments are via PayPal. If you don’t have PayPal, you can still pay the invoice as a PayPal guest by choosing to pay using your debit or credit card.


 
 

How it works

Send me a digital copy of your photo telling me what you would like to have done. If you need help scanning your photo, send me an email and I’ll walk you through the process.

I assess the photo and let you know how much it will cost and how long it will take. This quote is free and you are under no obligation to purchase my services. Sometimes the photos are too damaged or too low resolution and cannot be restored. If that is the case, I will let you know.

Colourization process

Once you give me the go ahead, I will ask you to email me the best version of the photo.

After I complete the restoration and/or colourization, I will send you a proof for approval. At this point, we can discuss any additional modifications and I will make the revisions.

Pricing

Each photo is unique. The condition of the photo, quality of the scan, and amount of detail will determine how long and how much it will cost to colourize it. I colour everything by hand (well, mouse or stylus) - carefully adding colours layer by layer, while paying close attention to detail. One person’s face could have up to twenty layers of colour. 

Prices are based on photo complexity and the number of people in the image. For example, a colourization of a single person portrait with a simple background will cost about $70 CDN/$55 USD. The fee is determined by the number of people in the photo and the complexity of the image. For example, a full-bodied family of 6 with a detailed background will cost $180 CDN / $140 USD. Whereas a photo with 4 individuals with a simple background may cost only $90 USD / $115 CDN.
