Do you offer special techniques such as hand-coloring or toning?
We love producing soft-focus images. The result is a wam dream-like photo that is never harsh and always brings about smiling memories. We also enjoy sepia toned images, they are like black and white but with just a hint of uniqueness. We offer ornamental borders and for those who are want something more like art, we also have hand-painted canvas portraits. With that, we take any portrait and paint it by hand in the computer! This is an art that must be seen~
