    This full day workshop is perfect if you’re just starting out using film cameras and want to feel more confident and comfortable making pictures on film.
    We will spend the morning looking at some film cameras and working out which tool is best for you to make the pictures you want to make. We will also demystify the terrifying terms… aperture, shutter speed, and ISO in an accessible and creative way, diving into a range of photo-books and work by other established photographers.
    After the morning class, we’ll put what we’ve discussed into practice and take a short photo walk around Leeds, with your tutor, Dan, helping you make pictures every step of the way. This is a chance to dispel any of those worries you may have about using film and an opportunity to ask any questions you may previously have been embarrassed to ask! We will provide you with a roll of film for the photo walk too, so you don’t need to bring anything.
    When we return back to the space, we’ll drop the film in to be processed and printed whilst we eat some lunch (not provided, please bring a sarnie). After lunch, we will all take a look at the negatives and prints from our photo walk and share our pictures. This will help us work out what we’re doing wrong and, more importantly, what we’re doing right!
    You will leave the workshop with a processed roll of film, a set of prints, and a newfound confidence in using a camera - with the knowledge to make pictures using film.

    • ★★★★★
      I have sent film to be developed by Take it Easy multiple times: I always get the scans back quickly, and they always look great. Once I had a ripped film and they even managed to salvage my shots! Will absolutely be using again and again, and I constantly recommend to friends (plus the mascot is adorable?)
    • ★★★★★
      Always a great service, I sent my films to be processed and scanned on a Monday and the scans dropped in my inbox Wednesday morning. They always keep you updated with turnaround times, and the scans are superb quality.
    Oh you guys!

    • If we receive a parcel with film(s) in it and it doesn't have an order number with it, we won't know who it belongs to. We always post images of the parcel and film on our Instagram stories in the hope that the owner of said order sees this and can notify us of the order number.

      Unfortunately if the order doesn't have an order number there is very little we can do, so if you think you've forgotten to include one when sending us film, please email us at hello@takeiteasylab.com with a full description of the package and film that was included.

    • Our Colour / B&W turnaround is usually within 4 working days of receipt of your order. E6/ECN-2 orders can be up to 1-2 weeks. Up-to-date turnaround times can be found in top header or on our Instagram.

    • Let’s really hope this never happens! But in the unfortunate case that it does, don’t worry, we’d never make you pay full price for this. We will happily refund the cost of the service, minus developing.

    • Once your files are delivered via Dropbox, we keep your files stored online for three months.

      After three months these files are deleted, so make you sure move all folders out of our dropbox onto your own HD or storage!

      We store physical orders / negatives at the lab for one month. These orders can be collected during weekdays while we are open. After one month these physical items will be destroyed in a GDPR compliant manner.

    • Yes we can. We can push your colour and black and white film up to 2 stops for no extra cost.

      For black and white pushed film, this is done externally and will extend the turnaround time by a week or so.

    • Once we have processed your order, we use the email address you supplied on your order form to send the files via Dropbox. Make sure you check your spam folder too.

      At checkout you have the option to receive your negatives back via post or you can collect them from our lab.
