Image Studios Lab & Darkroom

I filmed a student film here and had an awesome experience. The owner Steve was so helpful and cordial! Very clean and organized facility!

I’m am SO GLAD that Image exists!
As a student at SMC taking the Advanced B&W class, I needed some alone time in a darkroom without all the chaos and Photo 2 students getting chemicals everywhere. The Image darkroom is perfect for this! Steve has good enlargers, fresh chemicals, and pretty much anything that a well-​equipped darkroom would need. I really like his philosophy of wanting clients to leave with prints that they’re happy with. To that end, he’ll make sure that you know how to use the darkroom to its fullest and is glad to give advice or pointers when you need it.
The only ways I can think to make the darkroom better would be to upgrade to a digital timer on the enlarger since the clock-​style timer is hard to see, and to fix the wonky clock once and for all :)

Aweosme experience! Took my time and it was overall very pleasurable to work both by myself and with the help of Steve! He was super helpful and taught me how to use certain aspects of the enlarger and came up every once in a while to make sure everything was okay and that my prints were as great as can be. Would recommend Image Studios and Lab. Thanks, Steve!

Not only is this a great space for all photographers and filmmakers to keep in mind, but for people like me looking for some very detailed family portraits. I found Steve through a friend who told me to check them out online and call Steve with questions to get more info before i was able to make the trip to his studio.
Steve was very pleasant over the phone and is very knowledgeable, creative and helpful when it comes to his line of expertise. His patience and assistance made our trip a very nice experience. He also offered great advice on some of my questions about his Darkroom and the process. We also got a small tour of some cool memorabilia (he was also a film director of some great classics) and got to see some props he uses that were so cool.
If you are in need of a studio for your next project, make sure to visit IMAGE in person to see the space, equipment, darkroom, studio and the fantastic service.
you can also go online at
to get more info or call and ask for Steve.
Thank you Steve!

I found this place online and decided to pay them a visit and find out what kind of services they can offer me, I run a marketing and advertizing agency and often am in need of photographic content for my clients. I noticed there is no price list on their website, but when I met with the owner (Steve Carver) he was extremely friendly and wanted to help me and my company with our project as a hands on consultant, the rates are negotiable and not fixed, which is a big plus for my company. Steve was instrumental in helping my staff complete our photography project at the highest level of professionalism and efficiency. I truly appreciate the work that was done by the friendly staff at Image Studios, they helped us build our set to our specifications, and even helped an amateur like me understand the need for proper lighting, colors, and makeup on set. Truly a great experience.
