Just had to write this!! A friend of mine is writing a book and asked Michael Petersen to restore some old photos for his project. The work Michael did is just amazing. Some of the photos were very dark and you could not recognise much of the subjects. After restoration we can ( for example) see people, the old car they are standing beside, the house in the background…………it’s magic!!!! Thank you Michael Petersen!
Professional, friendly and prompt images for my exhibition catalogue, thank you, Michael.
Michael is a step above the other photographers we have used in the past his photos were incredible!
