Matilde's Photo & Framing, Inc., doing business as Copley One Hour Photo, has been serving the Boston area for the past fifteen years.

We provide our customers with a variety of services, including passport photos, film and digital photo processing in color and black & white. We also stock a wide selection of ready made frames and offer pre cut or custom cut mats. Photo albums, film, memory cards, batteries, etc. are also available. Recently the store underwent extensive renovations and a change of ownership, but the level of excellent customer service and friendly atmosphere remain the same.

National and International Passport Photos
Most countries of the world, particularly European countries, now require that your passport photos be taken in accordance with the "biometric" system.

As far as passport photos are concerned, the biometric system measures and analyzes the physical characteristics of an individual's face. These measurements include: overall structure of the face, distance between the eyes, nose, mouth, ears, and jaw edges. In general this photos must measure 35mm x 45mm, with the distance from the bottom of a person's chin to the crown of the head measuring between 31mm to 36mm.

At Matilde's Photo, we specialize in providing our customers with exactly the right kind of passport photos that are required by their country of citizenship. Some of those countries are: United States, Portugal, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Australia, England, Estonia, India, Japan, China, Greece, Poland, Singapore, Kenya, Bulgaria, Brazil, Belgium, Venezuela, Haiti, Colombia, Malaysia, New Zealand, and more.

Custom Black & White Photo Processing
We offer the highest quality B&W film processing, Contact Sheets, Copy Negatives, and Enlargements from wallet size to 20x24. Prints can be made from 35mm negatives, 120mm, 4x5, or any other format you may have. All prints are enlarged individually by hand. You have a choice of glossy, matte, or fiber base paper. Custom prints are contrast controlled, dodged, burned, and spotted to give you high quality prints from your negatives. We also offer critical cropping, toning, and borderless prints.

At Matilde's you will find a wide selection of ready-made frames. If you need an odd size frame that you can't find anywhere else, you may be able to find it here. If you have artwork that does not fit in any of our ready-made frames, we can custom cut a beautiful mat to fit your print, and we will mount it in your frame free of charge (exceptions apply).

History
Matilde Barbosa is a native of the Azores Islands (Portugal). Ever since she arrived in the US, one of her major goals in life was to someday own her own business. After 17 years of very hard work, and overcoming a lot of obstacles, Matilde finally succeeded in making her dream into a reality. On February 1, 2006, she proudly entered the business world after purchasing Copley One Hour Photo, which transformed into her own corporation and renamed it Matilde's Photo & Framing, Inc. Even though it was Matilde's focus, discipline, and perseverance that made her dream into a reality, she is fully aware of the fact that she could not have done it without the help and great moral support of her teachers, family, and friends.

Although Matilde has been the owner for a relatively short time, she has been in the photo business since 1989, helping the Boston area with their photo and framing needs. Matilde thanks all her customers for their loyalty and patronage and welcomes new ones to visit the store and play with her puppy Tilly.
