Film Processing

We process 35mm and 120 black and white films, E6 slide film, and C41 colour negative film by hand to ensure excellent quality results. We are experienced in processing the modern black and white films that are processed in colour chemistry, and do not charge extra for uprating.

Photo Printing

Our black and white printing service is carried out by hand in a traditional darkroom, printing images from 35mm and 120 (up to 6cm x 6cm) negatives on Multigrade paper. Our colour printing service prints are produced on quality heavy weight papers using Canon Chroma Life inks, producing excellent colour stable prints, which will last many years. Every negative or digital file is individually assessed. We can also produce digital black and white prints from 35mm and medium format (up to 6cm x 9cm) black and white or colour negatives/slides, and digital image files.
