Adanac Images operated as a St. Marys and area portrait studio from 1959 until 2022 when the company was sold and the studio closed. From 1959 to 1970 the company operated as Maurice Oliver – Photographer.

     While Adanac Images was best-known as a school and sports photography company, it also operated a studio that photographed weddings, family portraits and commercial work. This resulting studio work was archived. The early archives consist of photographic film negatives. When the company transitioned from film to digital photography in the mid-2000’s, images were archived onto CDs, DVDs and hard drives.

     From now through JANUARY 31, 2024 Adanac Images is offering past customers and their family members the opportunity to purchase the original photographic negatives and/or digital image files from our archives.

When black & white film (left) or colour film (right) is exposed and then processed, it yields a photographic negative. In the past, the negative was then used to make a photographic print.

     Today, if you have photographic negatives, you need access to either a working darkroom and/or a film scanner in order to view, copy and share the images with others.

     Digital cameras convert images into digital code (typically JPEG format) which is then recorded onto a memory device. The resulting digital image files can be used in an infinite number of ways in today’s digital world.
