Specialist scanning and darkroom postal service. Everything by hand with care.

Got a project in mind? Lets start a conversation…

At The Grainworks, we believe that film photography is more than a format, it's a craft, a ritual, and a deeply personal art form. With over 15 years of hands-on experience working with film, we bring a deep respect for the process and a meticulous eye for detail to everything we do.

Founded out of a love for analog photography and traditional darkroom techniques, The Grainworks specialises in high-quality film scanning and fine art darkroom printing. We work with photographers who value the texture, tone, and timelessness of film, whether you're shooting 35mm, medium format, or large format negatives.

Our services include:

  • Imacon scanning for exceptional clarity and dynamic range

  • Flatbed scanning for a more affordable option

  • Custom contact sheets and proof prints

  • Handmade darkroom prints, crafted with care and intention

We treat every roll of film like it’s our own. Whether you're archiving personal work, preparing for an exhibition, or just rediscovering the magic of film, we’re here to help you get the best out of your negatives.

The Grainworks isn’t just a lab, it’s a partner in your creative process. Let's keep film alive, one frame at a time.
