New Orleans, LA – December 2024 – The New Orleans Film Lab, a dedicated color film processing service, is excited to announce its official opening in January 2025. Catering to film photographers across the Gulf South, this innovative lab will provide professional-grade development services for various film formats, including 35mm, 120, 220, and 4x5 sheet film, processed in C-41, E-6, and ECN-2 color film chemistry.

A Unique Resource for Film Photographers

Film photographers in the Gulf South have long struggled to find a reliable, high-quality lab for their developing needs. The New Orleans Film Lab aims to fill this gap by offering an unparalleled range of color film services. As one of the only labs in the region processing large-format film and handling E-6 slide film, it is poised to become a go-to resource for photographers—whether hobbyists or professionals.

"Our goal is to create a space where film photography is celebrated and preserved," said the lab's founder. "We want to make it easy for photographers to focus on their art, knowing their film is in the best hands."

What You Can Expect

The New Orleans Film Lab is dedicated to precision and care. Every roll of film is processed by hand to ensure the highest archival quality. Customers can also explore a selection of branded merchandise, including T-shirts, tote bags, pins, and other items, available through the lab's online store.

Film scanning services will be launched later in 2025, providing even more comprehensive options for film photographers. For now, the lab will focus solely on its exceptional film development services.

Supporting the Film Photography Community

The New Orleans Film Lab is built on a foundation of community and collaboration. Beyond offering high-quality services, the lab is committed to fostering connections among photographers. Plans for 2025 include meetups, workshops, and partnerships with local arts organizations, schools, and museums to promote education and creativity within the film photography space.
