SILVER LAB

We are a professional photo lab in Copenhagen specialising in film development, digitalisation, hand printing and education. Every day we deliver full circle production for professional customers and enthusiasts. In addition we have 200m2 of darkrooms for classes, rentals, production and all sorts of other fun stuff. 

We are a modern lab deeply rooted in old traditions. Our lab is the result of a merger of two labs , Copenhagen’s final remaining professional photo lab ‘Laboratoriet i Nannasgade’ and the newer community oriented darkroom ‘Cph Silver Lab’. We are the perfect blend of a fully equipped photo lab and many years experience, insight and understanding of the modern analogue workflow.

It is possible to contact Silver Lab directly for other residency opportunities outside of the Nordic Analog Network.

    Residency apartment
    We have not been able to confirm our location for living yet. We are hard at work finding accommodations and are committed to locating something. It will likely be a hotel room or a small apartment. We will update this information as soon as we have it.

    Residency Activities:
    You will have a meet and greet with our team on arrival.
    You will get the opportunity to showcase your work at a relevant venue.
    You will be offered a portfolio review.
    Our lab is a central hub for the Danish analogue community. So you will have a great opportunity to expand your network in the field of analogue photography.

  • We have both color and b&w darkrooms available for use.

    • Our color darkroom is approximately 50m2 incl. a lightroom for viewing prints and preparing negatives. The darkroom space is divided into four booths with nine enlargers in total.

    • Our Black and White darkroom is approximately 70m2 incl. a lightroom with drying facilities, and tables for viewing and preparing negatives. The darkroom can hold up to 14 enlargers, but the number of workstations varies according to demand.

  • Darkroom
    Our darkrooms are fully equipped with all necessary equipment for film development of all formats, with a wide variety of options. Ranging from 135 (and smaller) to 8x10” (and in some cases larger) format.

    • In our black and white darkroom we have equipment for paper development in trays, tubes or a paper processor. Facilities for drying, flattening and dry mounting are also available.

    • The heart of our color darkroom is a Kreonite RA4 processor which can take papers up to 80 cm wide.

    Enlargers:
    The majority of our enlargers are Durst enlargers. At the moment up to 1200 and 138. We also have Leitz Focomats and Kaiser machines.

    Our enlargers can take negatives up to 5×7 inches (possibly 8x10 by the time of the residency) and we can make color prints up to 80cm wide, and similar in the b&w darkroom (we haven’t tested max size yet, but it will be minimum 100cm wide). We are still in the process of expanding our capacity.
