Picture This Film Lab

Why Choose Picture This Film Lab

Tucked away in the heart of Brighton, Picture This is a small, independent lab devoted to keeping the craft of analogue photography alive. We believe film is more than a medium—it’s an antidote to transient, over-processed pixels, a chance to savour moments outdoors with friends, to connect the present with both past and future.

Every roll we handle benefits from meticulous care: with calibrated chemistry, careful adjustment by experienced staff, using best-in-class equipment and scanners. The result? Images that delight—at a price designed to welcome newcomers, enthusiasts and pros alike.

Our mission is to showcase the unique richness of film by delivering photographs of outstanding calibre, tuned to your personal style. Friendly guidance—on everything from film stock to exposure techniques—comes as standard. Step into our shop and browse a curated wall of vintage cameras: iconic instruments built to be handled and enjoyed. Whether you walk out with a camera or simply fresh inspiration, we hope you’ll join us in keeping this beautiful craft thriving.
