Capture. Develop. Create.

Step into the magic of analog photography at Lenses & Brushes, home to the area’s last public darkroom. Whether you’re developing your first roll or returning to the familiar glow of the safelight, we offer everything you need to create from start to finish.​Our services include film development and scanning, along with workshops for every level — from Intro to Film Photography & Darkroom Processing to Beginning and Advanced Darkroom Workshops. For experienced photographers, we offer Darkroom Rental for both film development and black & white printing — providing access to a fully equipped space where you can work independently, experiment, and bring your images to life by hand.​ At Lenses & Brushes, every frame is crafted with care, every image tells a story, and every visit connects you to the timeless art of photography.
