From its initial conception, comfort has always been the main idea
behind our darkroom. Darkroom work can often entail a long and intense
process. Therefore, we wanted to provide a working environment that is
spacious, not crowded, and well organized so that photographers can work
comfortably even during lengthy sessions. The darkroom has been constructed
by hand with forethought and consideration for detail.
The darkroom is not just a place where you produce your work, but also
where you can meet a diverse group of people who share the same interest.
We also organize informal critiques on a regular basis where you can
exchange images and ideas with other photographers from diverse
backgrounds.
