One of my favourite haunts in Melbourne is the Camberwell Markets which, sadly for now has been cancelled due to Covid-19. I though this time of isolation would be the ideal time to restore some of the amazing images I have found at the market during previous visits.
The two images below were copied from large […]
When it comes to restoring documents, I treat them just as I do photographs. This certificate had seen better days; torn in two, sections missing and water damage. The owner wanted a restored copy for display.
I began by scanning each piece individually then stitching them together. This was the easy part.
Next came the restoration. I […]
To look at this photograph you would not think it would rate as one of the most challenging images I have ever had to restore. It doesn’t have large sections missing and it isn’t so faded it it barely visible. It is however covered in tiny spots and stains. In fact, when I fist saw […]

Yes, Literally! Child’s play.
I needed a few texture images yesterday for an editing project so grabbed my camera and ran outside to take a few shots My four year old daughter followed with the Dora The Explorer camera she received for Christmas last year. This particular camera won’t win any prizes for it’s picture […]
There are some amazing wedding photographers out there. I am not one of them. 😕
Early in my career I worked as a portrait photographer and whilst I still shoot some portraits, I find myself mostly in front of the computer screen editing images for other photographers or photographing products. But when my niece rang and asked for a […]
I’m not the only one who has had a website makeover of late. Some of my wonderful clients have realised the value of having great images on their websites and have sent their photographs to me for a little bit of sprucing up.  It’s amazing the difference that edited images can make to the appearance […]
The new Pixel By Pixel site has been live for two months now so I thought it was about time the Pixel By Pixel Blog came online too. Here I would like to share with you a selection of the images I am fortunate enough to restore and retouch, as well as the occasional tutorial […]
