 Film and Developer Synchronization

The optimum for getting the best results in your negatives to achieve your personal vision and or job specification. One can choose to shoot the test yourself, or we can do it for you. Prices are for one film and developer combination. We charge $75.00 and $100.00 respectively.

 

Silver Based Printing

We believe one of the most beautiful things in this world is a fine handcrafted silver gelatin print. These hand crafted prints need much expertise, attention, and costly paper to be of exhibition quality and therefore are very labor intensive to produce. Pricing for any silver based printing is by "Time and Materials". As a note, please go to our "Processing Page" and read the sections "Papers" and "Enlargers" for more information.

In exhibition printing all negatives are printed to fully interpret the photographers personal vision based on communication with the photographer. Burning, dodging, bleaching, cropping, spotting, tray manipulation, and choice of paper are included.

Printing with Client

For exhibition or any level work, the darkroom is exclusively booked for the client on a full or half-day basis plus materials. This ensures the correct interpretation of your personal vision or job specification. We do whatever it takes to achieve that goal. The client receives all prints that are dried from that days booking. We have several choices of paper, developers, and toners. All prints are archivaly washed and dried. A host of options are offered, such as; selenium toning, UV protection, print brightening, and gold toning.

I strongly recommend that the client is present in the darkroom during the printing of any exhibition work. A set of work prints is highly recommended for when the photographer can not be present.

“Time and Material” billing is based on a nine hour work day, 9:00 am to 6:00 PM with a  hour break for lunch. Printing stops at 3:00 PM, dependent on volume of prints to allow for washing and drying. It is not unusual for washes and dries to run into overtime. Leaving the prints to wash overnight is not an option. Therefore, all overtime is billed at an hourly charge. Post-production charges includes washing, drying, spotting, and pressing out prints and are billed with all bookings at the standard rate. Paper and certain chemicals are billed at cost plus 15% to cover shipping and handling
