I will return to James for any headshot that I need in the future. He is flexible with appointment times (he met me on a Saturday morning after another photographer canceled), kind, and has an impressive studio in Columbia. He made me feel comfortable and at ease with taking my photo - not easy! He is incredibly knowledgeable in his craft and does photography of others because he genuinely has a passion - he told me that he is semi-retired; James keeps at it because he loves interacting with others. What impressed me the most is that he does all his own editing and retouching - something I know many photographers pass to others to do. He got me my photos (to my requested...read full review
Wow, where do I start? When walking into his studio, he has his portfolio displayed on his walls. They are incredible photos that are so clear and precise. I went to James for help with getting a 54 year old photo, that has seen better days and survived two floods, restored an enhanced and bring new life to it. He looked at the photo and explained that due to its extensive damage, it might not come out as I expect. He then went step by step through what he would do as far as brightening it up and putting it through filters. Most of the faces in the photo were only half legible, so I didn't give my hopes up. When I tell you this man performed a miracle, believe me when I say that I teared up when I saw it. My grandmother, who passed away when my mother was only 11 years old, was given new breath and looked absolutely stunning and I could finally see what my family always talked about her being a natural beauty. My grandfather, who passed a few years ago, looked so young and lively and my mom and uncle were legible and I could see their young faces smiling. I didn't expect a whole lot as far as the photo restoration and enhancement, but James exceeded all expectations, including his own. His fee was very reasonable and he gave me an extra print of the photo. If anyone needs professional photos done or photo enhancement, James Ferry is the man for you. I'm still in awe of how amazing this photo turned out and I can't thank him enough. Not only did his work prove to be impeccable, but he's also a naturally friendly guy and a pleasure to talk with. If you're on the fence about choosing him, I hope this review settles your reservations. He is worth every penny and worth the wait time for the photos (which still wasn't long. It took him 3 weeks to get my photo in pristine condition). He is a master at his craft.
James is a true professional. Easy to talk to and he cares about his work. I took some old family photos to him for duplication with some needing touch-ups due to age. His digital repairs were amazing, the photos look like new. I highly recommend and will be going back to James soon as I found another set of photos to process. Now, my family and I can all have copies, no more "fighting" over delicate photos.
