SPA holidaymakers miffed at the grey skies or blurred images on their snaps need look no further than a Droitwich photography firm.

Memories of crystal waters in the Caribbean or golden sands in the Canaries can now remain that way thanks to a new piece of hi-tech equipment.

Michael Neil Photography can now offer the services of a state-of-the-art digital imager it claims is the first piece of equipment of its kind in the country.

The machine can print very high quality prints of all sizes directly from digital files.

Michael Perry, who owns the family-based firm said: "People think they need a computer to be able to print their digital photographs, but they don't. They can just bring in their camera and choose the photos they want printing and we can do it within an hour. And the quality is absolutely stunning."

Michael and his sons Neil and Daniel have been interested in purchasing this equipment for around eight years and had to have it shipped in from India.

"A guy from India came over with it and it took around four days to install," added Michael.

The service is available now from the firm's base, which is in the Town Hall in St Andrew's Street. The studio is now one of the most technologically advanced in the country.

"Because we are all trained photographers we can also offer customers a much more personal service. We can give them advice on everything from taking pictures to cropping them.

"And we are colour controlled so if we don't like the way a picture has come out then we print it again," Michael continued.
