Collectors who wish to authenticate their photos may request a detailed facial comparison and analysis. We have experience with photos of celebrities and many other historical figures. If you are interested in hiring us to examine your photos, please submit the following.
- High-resolution, scanned copies of your photo(s).
- Source photos of known, verified individuals for comparison.
- Provenance establishing the veracity of your photo.
- Related expert analysis reports.
Please do not send me home made Photoshop comparisons or non-factual opinions about why you think your photo is a genuine article.
When you hire me to analyze and compare your photo, you will receive my unbiased expert opinion, supported by a written report with photo exhibits.
If you find yourself dissatisfied with opinion, you may consider seeking another expert’s opinion.
No one can say with certainty that one person depicted in a photo is the same person seen in another. There are too many variables to consider. With that said, I would certainly be wary of someone who states that they could.
The best argument for you having the genuine article will be based upon the experience of the examiner, coupled with the opinion of other experts and verifiable provenance that supports the origin of the photo.
It’s my belief that there are more photos of famous or infamous persons in circulation, despite what their descendants, collectors, or historians believe. Who knows? You might actually have one!
