Photo Retouching/Restoration/Reconstruction / Robert Henry Judy Mainwaring

This was a major project to extract as much detail as possible from the tiny 3" print. The photo is the only one that the lady had of her father, and she wanted to get a close up. The original was scanned at very high resolution and the head is shown below, but the client required the man's face to be reconstructed to remove the shadowed area where there was no detail. I used parts of his daughter's eyes, nose and mouth to build up the face. She certainly bears a very striking resemblance to her father.
