Welcome to Tallinn’s only contemporary darkroom, open 24/7 to everyone!
The dream of our darkroom’s creation is deeply rooted in the personal journey of our founder, Toomas Järvet. His studies in visual anthropology in Barcelona ignited a passion for analogue photography that he now shares with you.
Explore the possibilities of our darkroom and book a time for either independent or group work. If you have never encountered the world of analogue photography, our darkroom masters are ready to assist everyone.
Booking the darkroom includes the responsible use of all the tools and chemicals available in the darkroom.
You need to bring your photographic paper. However, if arranged in advance, you can purchase it at the Darkroom. Before your session, please ask what paper is available for purchase.
All the necessary equipment to develop and enlarge B&W film from 35mm and medium format up to 5 x 4’’
