-
High-resolution, scanned copies of your photograph(s)
-
Source images of known, verified individuals for comparison

Any prior expert reports or analyses

What You Receive
When you retain our services, you will receive:
-
An unbiased expert opinion
-
A detailed written report
-
Supporting photo exhibits documenting the analysis
If you are dissatisfied with the findings, you are welcome to seek an additional independent expert opinion.
Important Considerations
Facial comparison and analysis involve a degree of subjectivity. While established methodologies guide the process, other examiners, and those with little or no expertise in facial examination and analysis, may interpret images differently.
No one can state with absolute certainty that an individual depicted in one photograph is the same person shown in another. There are simply too many variables involved. Be cautious of anyone who claims otherwise.
The strongest case for authenticity is built upon:
-
The experience and methodology of the examiner
-
Corroborating opinions from other qualified experts
-
Verifiable provenance supporting the origin of the photograph
A Final Thought
It’s my professional opinion that more authentic images of notable individuals exist than are currently recognized—despite what descendants, collectors, or historians may believe. It is entirely possible that you may, in fact, have one that has yet to be discovered.
