Gowanus Darkroom

Community darkroom that offers classes, dark room rentals and does film Processing. I've only used their processing service after dusting my old Canon off. Prices are reasonable and turnaround was fast. The scans were great! I was able to schedule a time to grab my original negatives too.

Amazing sanctuary for the photo community in a large spacious darkroom in Brooklyn. I wanted to secure a private lesson, which I did, and subsequently went in to process my black and white film. Visits were always greeted with warmth and whoever was there offering to help as I found my rhythm with the workflow. A wonderful and welcoming place.

1. Poor customer service -customer inquired when photo develop and scan may be done. -"you have to be patient." Was the response -it has been a week since customer’s film had arrived to them. -COVId19 may delay things. I understand; however, employee could have stated, "please be patient with us" or something along the line. -please go somewhere else for you film development and scan. I wanted to support local small business but customer service is not professional at all. The images have not even been delivered yet. Thank you for reading.

After receiving the email with my rolls of film about half of the photos had lines through the middle. It was an obvious scanner issue but Rachel made sure to rescan the images and showed incredible customer service. Gowanus Darkroom is very lucky to have her.

Had a great private lesson on photography and film processing with Sandra, cool space, everyone is chill, highly recommend!

Great place for scanning and development when you have shot a good roll. They also have development and darkroom classes and they hire out their studio. Great staff.

Great darkroom! Great place to develop film and to print photos. Rachel is knowledgeable and is always getting it done!
