Damaged photographs can be restored, but the effectiveness of the repair is determined by the extent and nature of the damage.
Scratches, tears, and creases can usually be 'fixed' relatively easily. If large parts of the original image are missing or have been discoloured or damaged, then the repair can be more difficult, although convincing results can usually be achieved with time and hard work.
Please contact me if you have damaged photographs that you would like to have restored. If you can e-mail a low-resolution scan of the damaged image/s (keep the file size/s to less than 100kb if possible), I will evaluate the scale of the task and get back to you with an estimate of the turnaround time and cost to repair this/them.
Below is an example (before and after) of a badly damaged image that I have repaired:
