Moonphoto History. Our Background. Over 25 Years in the business.

e opened our lab in 1974, when we saw a need for a professional Black and White photo lab in the Seattle area. We wanted to do something we were good at, that we liked to do, and that was needed: high quality black and white. Develop the film, print the negatives. On fiber, or resin coated paper. Tone it if you like. Quality always.

From the first location, our business grew steadily, and in 1987 we opened a second shop. In 1994 we acquired the equipment to do digital scanning, retouching, and high quality outputs. In 2001, we again expanded our services to color film processing and automated color printing.

Of course it made sense to do digital work in color as well as in black & white. We now do high quality scanning, top notch restorations of old photos, and other digital corrections, as well as the highest quality digital prints on our Fujix and Epson printers.

We still develop our film by hand, and do black and white printing by hand, using time tested methods and materials to ensure a long lasting product. We believe traditional black and white photography is here to stay.

The present and past may be significant, but so is the future. We plan to offer a variety of new services in the near future: more and better scanning services; more choices of media on which to save your scans; improving your scan for publication; and prints on a variety of materials. We will continue to offer the finest in traditional black & white processing and quality color prints.

Over the past 25 years, our success has been confirmed by the praise and recommendations of many photographers, both professional and amateur. We can thank our staff, present and past, who have helped us with good work and suggestions along the way. It is only with the concerted honest work of many people that a business like ours can last for over 25 years, let alone be successful. A special thanks to our valued customers, some of whom have been with us from the beginning. Thanks for your support!
