I recently engaged Mike Lappin to assist in the photoshop editing of 12 portrait shots taken for a high profile law firm. Mike was very through and meticulous in seeing that all aspects of the portrait shots were well edited. He even took the extra time and effort and went beyond what changes I had requested to ensure the quality of the portraits. Mike's turn around time far exceeded my expectations and allowed me additional review time with the client. If you need Photo editing or restoration work Mike delivers top quality work at a very reasonable price. I would highly recommend Mike Lappin for all your photo editing work.

I am a professional photographer with National Geographic Creative. Mike does my photographic post production work with me. He offers an excellent and knowledgable balance between producing the look I want digitally, and making my imagery very printable. He's careful and thorough. The work we do together on my imagery is very collaborative, just as it should be. He's an important part of my imaging team. Personally, he is very easy and great to work with. I enjoy meeting with him in person, but have no trouble communicating with him in spite of our distance geographically. He's a huge asset to my work.

Mike does FANTASTIC work. I had an old black and white photograph from 1957 in an unusual format (65'x11') that was in a terrible state. Cracks and tears in several places, torn completely in one place, and the right bottom corner was completely missing. This is a photograph that showed the whole firefighter team of a US Air Force base in Alaska with many faces to restore. Mike restored the photo most professionally (including the missing corner), printed it in the same format that it was in before. I had also asked him to have it mounted on 1/2 inch gator board so it could be mounted on the wall directly. Now, this was a christmas present for my boyfriend and, therefore, finishing it was time sensitive. Mike finished it on time for me to put it under the tree and my boyfriend was so very happy when he saw the formerly almost "destroyed" photograph in this wonderful new form. Thank you so much, Mike!
