Gawain Weaver Art Conservation

Introduction: We perform both digital restoration and conservation/restoration of original photographic materials. Our work with fine art photographs is only about the cleaning, stabilizing, and restoration of the original print, but our work with family photographs and historic photographs and negatives is often a combination of conservation of the original and digital restoration. The original is often stabilized and cleaned to reveal as much of the original image as possible, and then digital imaging and restoration is used to fill losses and create copies. Our knowledge of the history and technology of photographic processes allows us to digitally restore images to most closely match their original appearance. Working with historic materials and bringing these amazing images back into people's lives.
