YOUR FAVORITE LITTLE BACK ALLEY FILM LAB.

Troublemaker film lab is a low ego, positive-vibe, professional darkroom, film processing & scan lab located in St. Paul, MN. We may be small, but we’ve got big dreams for supporting and building a diverse, inclusive community for analog photographers of all stripes.

We’re not set up for drop-in visits yet, So email Roo to schedule one! We’d love to get to know you!

  • FILM PROCESSING, SCANS, & PRO DARKROOM SERVICES

    From 35mm up to 4x5, we can process color negative (C-41) or B&W film and make high-res scans (or teach you how to do it)! We also make traditional B&W contact sheets, archival B&W prints, and color or B&W digital prints.

  • Workshops & Community events

    What better way is there to find creative community than learning and working together? We’re here to teach anyone who is interested in analog processes, from beginner to working professional. We also believe in fostering a supportive and engaged creative community.

  • Artist-In-Residence program

    For photographers that need a lot of lab or darkroom time to complete a project, or photographers that want to spend quality time learning an aspect of their analog craft, a 3-month Artist-In-Residence spot at Troublemaker is just the thing.

Processing film since 2020. Making trouble since always. Let’s Make some trouble Together.
