Have you ever wondered how best to enhance and preserve those precious photos, negatives and films related to key-events in your life?

The Digital Photo Studio has the answer. Opened in June 2011 by Kirsten Hemingway-Arnold and Kevin Thompson, the business specialises in converting photos, videos, and documents to digital format.

Competitively priced, and charged by the hour, customers can either send or bring in photos, negatives, slides and videos and have them quickly converted to CD.

Kirsten Hemingway-Arnold comments: “This service is the perfect way to have easier access to your old photos and documents because it transfers them to new media.

“For example, once transferred you can email the pictures to friends and family, rather than leaving them gathering dust in hardcopy. It is also the perfect gift because we restore torn and damaged photos and have them presented in a photo album or digital frame.

“We also copy VHS, Cinefilm, C90, HI8 onto DVD, transfer Audio cassettes to CD and enlarge photos and paintings to large canvas style impressions.”

Alongside updating old media to new media with a prompt, professional and competitively priced service the Digital Photo Studio also hosts major art events and exhibits local work.

The Digital Photo Studio has a dedicated art gallery upstairs called ‘The Gallery @’ which was officially opened in August 2011 by John Penrose MP, and is the largest of its kind between St Ives and Bristol.

In 2012 twenty-five artists will be exhibiting throughout the year, with well-known names such as Jamie Scanlon featuring. Artists can also exhibit and sell their work in the gallery for a nominal fee.
