Email me to meet at a local spot (cafe, etc) and I will pick up the film! Sunday mornings 9am-12pm are preferred. Turn around time is about a week maximum from pickup (unless otherwise specified). The idea of this service is to provide a personal and consistent lab experience to you. Having over 15 years experience with Chicago film labs, I started Sprocket Film Lab to take a methodical and intentional approach to film. Your memories deserve the utmost care since you only get one chance to develop your film.
Testimonials
“Over the years I’ve had the pleasure of being able to observe and be an active part of Edward’s creative process. What has always stood out to me is just how intentional making photographs is for Edward, even on the fly. More often than not he has his light meter on him just in case the opportunity presents itself, and to Edward's trained eye, it quite frequently does. Whether it be a studio setting, a photography walk or anything in between, Edward is able to see things in a way that many would need a pre-existing photograph for. He puts a great deal of care, pride and consistency in his work and it shows in every photograph he has made.”
- Matthew Waller
“Edward’s photography offers a unique perspective that feels so sentimental and personal. As he worked with my partner and I on our wedding photos, it was very clear how much pride and care Edward takes in his craft. From guiding us through the idea stage to the actual shoot day, the entire process felt effortless and very intentional; we knew that the photos we would be getting back would be incredible. And we were right. These are easily my favourite photos of my partner and I, and we will treasure them forever. I feel very lucky that Edward captured them for us and absolutely recommend him for all your photography needs!”
- Tenayah Bowmer
“Edward is an outstanding photographer who has a remarkable ability to capture the energy in any setting. I’ve had the privilege of working with him on ten or more live music events, and his work has always exceeded expectations. On top of being incredibly professional and reliable, Edward is always a joy to work with. His eye for detail and talent for preserving the most meaningful moments make it such that I wholeheartedly recommend Edward for any photography needs!”
