KAWARTHA LAKES: “Your family photos do not deserve to be stored in a box, never to be looked at until something happens,” stated local photographer Robert Waskul.
Mr. Waskul is a local photographer from the City of Kawartha Lakes. He has over 30 years of photography experience and has expanded his skills, providing multiple photographic services for his clients.
One of the main services he offers is photo restoration.
After Mr. Waskul’s mother passed away, he realized old photographs had a sentimental value. He decided to enlarge a few of the photos he had, mostly to fill up space on the empty walls of his home.
“That’s how this [business] started,” he explained.
He deemed these photos worthy of undergoing the restoration process, which includes scanning the photo, restoring the image quality and enlarging it so it can be displayed.
Mr. Waskul is always looking for ways to challenge himself. “The harder the job thrown at me, the more I enjoy it,” he said.
Clients do not always realize how much a photo can be restored.
Many clients have an emotional attachment to the photos they bring for restoration. Mr. Waskul’s goal is to restore the image quality to the best of his ability.
