Testimonial by Author and Animal Activist
Edd Gibbs Rose
“Judging from my experience, the new “artistically enhanced photographic imaging” process of Carl Holgate should enjoy a guaranteed future, a future with many gratified clients. Pet lovers, and others with treasured quality photographs, could well be amazed by the results of this new technique.
With that qualification out of the way, it can generally be said that the essential likeness of these “enhanced” renderings to fine, original oil works is remarkable!
The work Mr. Holgate did for me has a kind of subtlety of tone, and richness and depth of surface image and finish, I would associate with quasi-realistic impressionist painting."
Edd was so impressed with the work I did for him that he featured it on the cover of his book “Wear Your Own Skin”. It is the image of Edd with his two Afghans.
I am Zoey's grandma and I adore the picture Carl has worked
wonders with. Thanks for the wonderful memory that
will be cherished for years to come.

We have owned quite a number of dogs over the years, but have had Collies exclusively for the past 22 years. We have taken innumerable photos and have had perhaps a half dozen attempts at turning one of them into a painting. None have been really successful even though
some were quite expensive.
Just recently, however, we really believe we have found the answer.
Using modern computer technology and a lot of personal skill,
Mr. Carl V Holgate can turn a photograph into a work of
art that would absolutely fascinate Michelangelo!

I have to admit, I put little hope the photo of my relatives that was taken around 1900 could be restored to the likeness that was captured over 109 years ago.
I was pleasantly surprised when I saw what Carl had done! And if that was not enough, his process of Photo Preservation will insure the
restored photo will never suffer the damage of the original photo.
I strongly recommend all of Carl’s services and I can assure you his attention to detail and professionalism are matched only
by his integrity.

I am truly amazed at the work Carl did for me! Not only did he
bring life to the moment and add the missing shadow of my son,
he produced a work of art that will be handed down from
generation to generation.
Also, his method of photo enhancement and preservation allows
a photo to be appreciated and protected without
having to put it behind glass.

Carl Holgate’s pet portraits are so life-like that I sometimes
“pet the portrait” of each of my cats on their noses. He
has taken photographs of my cats and turned them
into works of art.
I am so pleased to have these personalized pictures
and I smile every time I look at them.
Thank you, Carl, for your unique artwork and for
memorializing my kitties in such a
one-of-a-kind artful portrait.

You only have look at the difference between the
two to realize the value of Carl's work.
