The quest of the project was to present the old photos as realistically as possible within a short turnaround time.

  • Restoring the objects precisely from extremely damaged photos

  • Doing extensive research on the given photographs to understand the concepts, and produce the best color combination for better presentation
  • Conducting an in-house quality check by experts to review the photography and make suggestions if desired for quality service delivery
