We are all Human

All film is developed and scanned by me, Josh, so there’s real consistency and care in every roll that comes through the lab. If you ever notice anything different in how your scans come out, or if something’s not quite to your liking, please just let me know, either by email or in the lab. I’m always happy to correct anything and have a proper chat about it. We like to keep people happy and coming back, and feedback like that genuinely helps me improve and keep pushing the service forward.

see how things are done here in the lab and get a proper look behind the scenes. From the moment your film comes in, it’s handled with care and run through our Noritsu processing machines to get the best possible results. Once developed, we scan everything in house on our high end scanner, keeping colours natural and true, ready for you to view, print, or share. It’s all done right here in the lab, with no shortcuts, just proper film processing done the way it is should be

When you drop your film off with us, you’ll always get a friendly welcome and a proper chat about what you’ve shot and what you’d like from it. Whether it’s your first roll or you’ve been shooting for years, we’re always happy to help and answer any questions you’ve got. From advice on film types to scanning options and prints, nothing’s too much trouble, we just want to make sure you get the best out of every roll.

Before any film goes anywhere near the processor, each roll is carefully twin checked by hand to make sure everything is correct and ready to go. We check the film type, condition, and how it’s been loaded so there are no surprises once it enters the machine. The film is then spliced onto a leader card, secured properly, and taped on both ends to ensure it feeds through smoothly and safely without any risk of damage.Once everything is prepped, the film is fed into either our Noritsu T15 or Noritsu V30 processor, depending on the job. From there, it begins its journey through the chemistry, moving through each stage at controlled speeds and temperatures to bring your images to life.

Once your film has been developed, it moves over to scanning using our top of the range Noritsu scanners. We use Noritsu because they produce high resolution files with a more natural, flatter look and true to life colours. Unlike some other commonly used lab scanners that can add contrast or saturation, Noritsu scans give you a clean, neutral starting point, perfect for editing or for those who want their images to stay as true to the original negative as possible.

After each roll is scanned and saved, we don’t just send it straight out. Every image is carefully checked by eye for any dust or marks that Digital ICE may have missed. If anything is spotted, it’s corrected manually to make sure your scans are as clean as possible. Only once everything has been properly checked and finished we send your images out, ready for you to enjoy, print, or edit.

When your scans are complete, we send them via TransferNow, fully covered by us. There’s no AI trickery just your true images. If you’ve dropped your film in by 4:30, I’ll always work overtime to make sure those scans hit your inbox by 5 or 6 p.m. that same day because I know how keen you are to see them!

If you’d like your images printed, you’ve got two great options to choose from. Our Kodak gloss prints give you that classic photo finish with rich colours and a clean shine, perfect for albums or sharing with friends and family. Or, for a more professional feel, our Epson lustre prints offer a softer finish with beautiful detail and reduced glare, ideal for framing or display. Whichever you choose, your images are printed right here in the lab to the same high standard as the rest of our process.
