1 | colour photographic darkrooms around the world | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
2 | This list has been created largely for photographers and artists who would like to produce their own prints in the colour darkroom. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
3 | I hope that it can be a resource for those that do not have access to a colour darkroom and lack the resources to set one up. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
4 | Any darkroom that has an RA4 processor is welcome, however as commercial labs are focused on providing a service (i.e. they do the printing), I encourage public access (e.g. rent-in, membership-based) darkrooms to be listed. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
5 | Many thanks, Sonia Mangiapane | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
