Meet Marco Flores and Sabath Trejo

All this began back in November of 2014 in the corner a small shopping center where with the help of the internet people began coming in through the door. In April of 2015, we came across the opportunity to move to our current location, a bigger space with a functional darkroom, the ability to display a gallery and film cameras retail space. We have now expanded our services and involvement with the local artist community.

The idea behind the lab was to provide the opportunity for local photographers to expo their creative work to the community. It can be so difficult for artists to get their name and work out there etc.

About once per month, we host a gallery called “The Lab Collective”. We select a few local artists, print their work, and all proceeds go to the artists. It’s a great opportunity for artists to gain visibility, people to network, take home some prints, have a bite to eat and a few drinks, etc.

Our photo lab is for everyone, though! We pride ourselves on providing friendly and professional imaging services. We understand the value of pictures and want to help make everyone’s memories last for generations to come.

Has it been a smooth road?
It has not been the smoothest ride but a rewarding and positive learning experience most definitely. The struggles have been what we believe if not the same, similar to what most first time business owner faces such as late nights finishing large orders, meeting deadlines, fixing and troubleshooting equipment implementing new ideas and failing.
