Premium Scanning
White glove service for your photos!
I use a super high-quality 50MP SLR and lens combination to scan your photos, slides, negatives and memorabilia. This is a great setup for taking the highest quality scans at the fastest possible speeds. (For reference most smartphone cameras are 12MP).
​
All images are scanned at the industry standard of 600dpi (or much higher) and are delivered in the client's preferred format - jpg, tif or DNG. Added bonus, with a camera setup, it's possible to scan 360 photos in an hour - something that just isn't possible with even the most high-end consumer scanners - so turnaround time can be super-quick if time is an issue.
​
Added to that, your photos aren't fed through a scanner with rollers, that can harm some photos - especially if they jam. Such machines should also be cleaned frequently as the machines dust which then causes dots and streaks on your photos.
​
I'm also able to shoot your memorabilia and outsize items as they are not required to fit under a lid.
Finally, for all scanning projects, I can quickly and easily 'develop' your images - cropping and editing so they look their best without sacrificing speed. Suppliers usually charge extra for this premium-style service but mine is included in my regular price.

WHY AN HOURLY RATE?
Each client project has unique challenges. Pristine 4 x 6 photos are straightforward (also rare), but faded slides or albums with stuck pages require more time and care. Every scenario demands a tailored approach to meet client needs. Additionally to some clients, developing and enhancing or rescuing the photos that have been damaged or exhibit a sever colour cast - is important, but to others this is unimportant as long as the photos is preserved. Rest assured I will discuss your project at length beforehand to ensure you get the results you expect. ​
​
Example scan speeds just to give you an idea* (does not include cropping and light editing):
Uniform size prints - 4 x 6, 5 x 7 - about 200 an hour
Uniform slides - about 120 an hour
Assorted prints organized by size - about 100 per hour
​
* Helpful hint - a 1" stack of photos is about 100 photos
