Developing
San Diego’s
Photo Community
Camera Exposure is our front door — a neighborhood camera shop where we buy and sell used equipment and provide a safe, welcoming place to learn more about the history and the future of film photography.
Safelight Labs is our story production factory—San Diego’s premier place to develop and scan your film—and our space for workshops, events and studio photography.
Dropping off film in-store? We want to make sure it gets back to you. Please ensure your customer contact form is up to date.
Film Development and Scanning
Whether you plan to stop by the shop or use our 24/7 Drop Box or mail in service, we make film processing simple. Bring us your roll of film and we’ll get it processed and scanned — and we’ll send you a WeTransfer link with all the images in a week or less.
The Studio at Safelight Labs
Looking to photograph your next great project in a simple, accessible space? The Studio at Safelight Labs comes fully equipped with everything you need for your next shoot. Rental rates begin at $40/hour.
