Verdi Studios

Verdi Studios Portrait Sessions for families, couples, kids, graduates. Portfolio & Fashion Photoshoots. Newborn photography. Restoration of old photographs. Mount cutting.

Framing-standard sizes, & made to measure. Passport & visa photos. VHS to DVD conversion. Verdi Studios is a small, family business which started in Green Street, Forest Gate, in 1976. We then opened a second branch in Seven Kings, in 1999. In January 2014, after 15 years in Seven Kings, we relocated to much larger premises at: 188-190 High Road, Chadwell Heath, Romford, Essex RM6 6LU. This is now

our one and only Studio. We are a 3rd generation photography studio- father and daughter team! Our aim has always been to provide good service, advice, and quality. Most of the work we do is through recommendation. We have access to conventional photography skills, and we are also fully conversant with the latest digital imaging techniques.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to phone, or email us. We are Studio based photographers, and do not cover weddings or functions.

Vaisakhi 1999. Green Street, Forest Gate 🧡

The 35mm archives: A glimpse back in time - when the streets of East London were filled with colour, music, and celebration. These archive photographs by Verdi Studios capture more than a moment; they capture a feeling of togetherness, pride, and home.

Captured through my Dad’s lens these moments hold the warmth of a community coming together - bright colours, happy faces, and the unmistakable joy of Vaisakhi day.

27 years later, we look back not just at photographs, but at this unique moment in time, and the generations that made it special ✨

If you recognise yourself or someone in these images, we’d love to hear your story. Tag, share, and help us reconnect these moments with the people in them. 💛

📍Opposite Verdi Studios, 225-227 Green Street.

People say traditional skills, and a “personal touch” approach to businesses are dying - and they’re not wrong!
But there are still some of us around… You just have to know where to look (and what to Google!) 😄

This beautiful pastel portrait of Skye deserved a soft, natural finish, so we paired it with a warm wood frame, and a cool white mount to really let the artwork shine.
⬇️
Pastels can be delicate, so careful mounting and the right materials are key to protecting the piece while keeping those colours vibrant for years to come.

Before ➡️ After ✨
This bold black and white, vintage poster featuring Michael Jordan and Spike Lee. This collaboration for Nike’s Air Jordan line revolutionised sportswear marketing in the late 1980s and early 1990s 🏀🔥
⬇️
Our client’s original frame didn’t survive the years, but the poster definitely deserved to. Our framer, Parm handcrafted a new solid black frame to match its strong graphic look and re-used the original glass to keep costs down.

Sometimes it’s not about replacing everything… it’s about restoring the spotlight (and not using Command strips) 💪🖼️
