Film Types and Processing Times

Colour C41 Film

C-41 is the most common and versatile colour film format, making it a favourite for photographers around the world. Because it’s widely used, development is quick, accessible, and reliable. This film can produce a wide range of looks depending on the stock, making it perfect for both casual and professional shoots.

Black & White Film

Black and white film is timeless, emotional, and raw. It strips everything back, letting light, shadow, and expression tell the story. The texture and depth create an intimate, artistic feel that’s perfect for anyone wanting something classic and soulful.

ECN-2 Film

ECN-2 film was originally made for motion picture cameras, giving it a rich, cinematic look. It has soft highlights, deep shadows, and a unique tonal range that makes every frame feel like it’s part of a story. This film is a favourite for editorial shoots, moody portraits, and creative concepts.
