picturehouse + thesmalldarkroom

picturehouse + thesmalldarkroom is a New York City photographic lab specializing in fine-art darkroom and digital printing. Its core work centers on producing exhibition-quality photographic prints, including C-type, silver gelatin, and archival pigment prints, supported by on-site film processing and precision print workflows.

The studio integrates analog darkroom craft with digital production, offering high-resolution scanning, color correction, and retouching as part of a unified printmaking process. Projects are handled with a consultative, production-focused approach, from file preparation and proofing through final output, with equipment and workflows designed for both film and digital sources.

Based in Chelsea, the lab serves photographers, artists, and creative teams working on exhibitions, publications, and commercial projects. Mail-in processing, remote consultation, and international shipping support both local and global production needs.
