Shoot film • Print art • Real intelligence • Actual magic
District Darkroom is a traditional black and white photographic darkroom which you can hire. We exist to provide the opportunity for photographers of all experience levels the chance to feel, see and smell the magic of shooting, processing and printing your own film photos.
We are passionate about film photography, sharing skills and enhancing community for photographers in Melbourne and beyond.
Please note, District Darkroom is located in a mid-century building and unfortunately there is no ramp access. Reach out on the contact form If you are really excited by traditional film photography but have problems tackling stairs.
