Retouching and Restorations

Miracle workers.  I found a disposable camera from the mid-1990's in a storage locker.  There was no chance of getting images off that roll.  They somehow milked a tiny amount of color from the pitch-black negatives, and came up with useful photos.  Amazing.

Whenever I see my negatives back from the lab, I am reminded why I love b/w photography and am willing to pay so much for it.  Moonphoto does a great job! If you request scans, they will scan the sugar out of those negatives! Each image could be scanned to 4mb+ per image.  Zoom in on those to see every single film grain, I love it!  I did notice a bit of dust on some of the images, which I guess can happen.  Could have been any number of factors, as the majority of the images came out beautifully. I have only come in once so far, so I have no experience with their printing of images but it seems like they have a variety of options and I would imagine they would do an excellent job based on their care to the eight rolls and scans that I brought in . . .

Twice now, I'm have brought special travel images to Moonphoto to print (Ugandan wildlife and a Maui humpback) and both times have been very happy. Not only do they do a beautiful job enhancing every image, but they also seem genuinely enthused about the stories behind the shots. They make everything look better and seem to have fun doing it.  Highly recommend.

Moonphoto has done an amazing job enlarging one of my engagement pictures. I say that because this one specific picture was low resolution but still they were able to enlarge it to the size I wanted and the result is outstanding ! Excellent customer service. Staff very friendly. If you are looking for a lab to print your pictures I recommend Moonphoto without a doubt!

I was referred here by a photographer friend, when a 10 year old sepia portrait started showing discolored spots. I didn't even have a digital coy, only the print, so I wanted it fixed up right! The result is even better than I'd hoped for. The portrait looks better than new, and I got several copies made. The cost for prints and retouching work was extremely reasonable. Moonphoto is THE place to take your precious photographs! They were extremely professional and respect the art, whether it's a landscape or an artistic nude. Great confidence in their work.

Moonphoto has print quality you're not going to find in many other places. I've had my work printed through several professional printing companies over the years, but nothing has ever quite been like when I was in photo school and had full control over ensuring my images looked exactly as they did on my computer screen. Moonphoto will give you just that. I might also add that I needed a rush print for a last minute wedding expo project, and they were able to have my prints to me same day. So I really appreciate them for that! If you're serious about having your work in print, this is the place to go.

Moonphoto has done enlargements, scanning, retouching of old photos, and digital printing for me. Their work is detailed and quite beautiful. I've exchanged email, talked in person, and over the phone and the customer service is very friendly. . . A++ services.

I am so glad to have found a lab that knows how to expertly process film over 50 years old. I have several rolls, and Moonphoto is right in my old neighborhood!

I've used these folks on and off over the past 15 years, and much more so in the past year and half because I've gone back to primarily shooting film again AND I live much much closer than I did before. Win-win. Friendly. Knowledgeable. Reasonable prices. There are a couple mail-order shops I send stuff to occasionally when I have a huge run of rolls to get done, but more often than not I just take my stuff to Moonphoto because even though they're a bit more expensive, they do just as good a job and I can chat with them and give my scratch to this great local shop rather than sending it elsewhere. Normally I just get film developed only, uncut but the few prints and scans I've ordered have always come back looking to have been done with almost as much care as I'd have given them.  Quality photo shops are few and far between these days.... Bob and his crew are, and always have been, one of the good ones.

These guys did a great job with my photos!  I'll be coming again...
