Inspired by the era when every picture was crafted on film

Welcome to Picture This Film Lab, the hub for all photography enthusiasts, located in the vibrant North Laine area of Brighton. Whether you're new to film, an experienced hobbyist, or a professional, you’ll find inspiration from cameras, film, and film processing all in one place.

We are committed to preserving the timeless craft of film photography, honoring the techniques and tools that once defined each precious memory.

Like Blondie’s Picture This, our name evokes a sense of imagination, longing, and connection, for those moments in life we wish we could keep forever. Film photography captures this feeling, and we strive to bring that vision to life for each customer, through the artistry and legacy of film.

Our Film Processors

We develop C41 and Black & White film using Fuji and Noritsu processors. These amazing machines develop film with consistent, high-quality results.

Fast, consistent Black and White film processing

Our commitment to innovation is evident in being one of the first UK labs to convert a C41 mini-lab to process black and white film. This leads to consistent quality and the availability of a fast turnaround time.

Noritsu Scans

A key stage in translating your film into beautiful images is the scanning process.

We use the renowned Noritsu HS-1800, the scanner widely preferred by photographers, which consistently delivers superior results compared to other systems.

Ultimate Quality

Noritsu's technology excels in capturing the fine tonal nuances and contrast essential for both colour and black and white photography. Whether scanning 35mm or medium format film, the HS-1800 ensures exceptional clarity and depth, preserving the full dynamic range of your film.

Medium and High Resolution

We don't offer "low" resolution, disappointing scans. Choose from our "medium" resolution - suitable for most purposes, to the highest resolution - testing the limits of your camera system.

Our TIFF option gives you true 16 Bit files suitable for commercial editing.

For 120mm film, we're giving you the highest resolution scans, at an incredibly low price.

Real C-Type Prints on Photographic Paper

Our prints are true "C-Type" (chromogenic) prints, made from light projected onto on light-sensitive photographic paper using a traditional process that highlights our commitment to quality.

C-Type printing is iconic in classic photography, delivering prints with smooth, continuous tones and vibrant, rich colors.

Real C-Type Prints on Photographic Paper

The result is a timeless look and feel that many associate with traditional photographic prints. Unlike many modern labs that offer inkjet or dye-sublimation prints, we stay true to the authentic process.
