About us
Hello and welcome to Doctor Photo
My name is Jim and I am the founder and owner of Doctor Photo.
I have always been interested in photography and in particular photo editing and restoration.
What started as a hobby some 13 years ago is now developing into an ever expanding business.
For many years now I have wanted to throw the towel in with my normal work and do something that I actually enjoyed, and finally on the 1st of March 2009 I did just that, my only regret (so far) is that I didn’t do it years ago.
So as you can tell from the above Doctor Photo is a new company but one with lots of experience, passion and pride in what we do.
Only time will tell as to how popular we become and hopefully expand as there is plenty of talented competition and the market is ever growing.
But one thing I can say sincerely, is that every photo we receive is treated as if it were our own, nothing is rushed and particular attention to detail is carried out on every step of the restoration process.
So why not give us a try, after all if you don’t like what you receive then you don’t have to pay.
All the best
Jim
Doctor Photo.

Hi Jim
I think the website you have set up is really good and tells people all they need to know regarding photo restoration and more, it’s friendly and give some good information.
Although a little unorthodox I am writing in the hope that you will be able to advise me on the best way to promote my own photo restoration skills - I understand if you feel I am encroaching on your area of work but I really enjoy this kind of work and have done some rather challenging photos myself for family and friends. I now feel confident enough to advertise my services locally but also wondered whether you employ people that can do this kind of work remotely?
Thank you inadvance
Yours Sincerely

Hi Shayne
I am assuming that you already have some software such as coral, paint shop pro etc.
All I can say is “the more you practice the better, more confident and quicker you will become”. Like you I started out doing photos for friends and family and also as a kind of therapeutic hobby whilst working overseas in some rather hostile locations.
Unfortunately I never carried out much research prior to opening my website, kind of like the film Field of Dreams, I thought “if you build it they will come” regrettably that was not the case, as there is so much competition out there you have to spend hundreds every week in advertising and SEO (search engine optimisation) this is why the cost can be quite high in order to re-coup some of the expenditure.
Anyway in the early stages I often downloaded before and after restoration photos to see if I could repair as good as or better than the examples. If there is anything specific you would like to know then drop me an email (under contact us) and I will do my best to help.
All the best and thanks for the post.
Jim
