Kannadickal Studio

Ranni, Kerala — since 1976

Photographs your family cannot replace

We repair old, damaged photographs by hand and make them into albums that families keep. Three generations of one family, photographing three generations of yours.


Photo Restoration

Faded, torn, water-damaged, insect-eaten. Repaired by hand, not by a filter. Black and white photographs can be brought to colour.


Memory Albums

Your family’s restored photographs, designed and bound into a hardcover album. Delivered anywhere in India.


The Studio

Passport and visa photographs, printing, framing, lamination. The everyday work we have done in Ranni for fifty years.

Since 1976

One of the oldest studios in the area

K.K. George opened the studio in Ranni in 1976. We developed every photograph ourselves, in our own darkroom at the back — nothing was ever sent away to a laboratory.

He taught the trade to a great many people in this area over the years.

Pathanamthitta district, Kerala

Proudly from Ranni

The Queen of the Eastern Hill Lands — a town on both banks of the Pamba, seven-tenths forest and ninety-five per cent literate, in one of the most emigrated-from districts in Kerala. On average, every household here has somebody living abroad.

That is the other reason we do this work. The photographs stay in the house in Ranni. The children who are in them live somewhere else now.
