Fine Art Digitization
+ Printing
Fine art printing turns digital files, scanned film, or digitized artwork into higher-quality prints on professional photo and art papers.
-
This is the best fit for artists with images or artwork that need a more finished presentation, more control over paper choice, or a print that feels closer to an elegant object than an everyday photo.

MEDIAM Film Lab started the way a lot of good things start:
By accident, through obsession
-
I was developing and scanning my own film, then friends started asking if I could do theirs. Word got around. Now this is what I do.
Because it started that way, I try to keep it feeling that way. Not just a storefront with a service to offer, but more like having a homie down the street who knows this stuff, cares a ton, and wants to help you enjoy film as much possible.
Film is tactile, slow, and human; the lab should be too.
The goal here is simple: do the work well and make the whole film experience better. That starts with precise processing, technical scanning, and the little details only someone who really cares would bother with.
If you took the time to shoot it on film, it matters.
MEDIAM is a lab first, but it’s also my way of making room for the local film community to grow: workshops, photowalks, honest advice, and a place for Alaska’s film shooters to find each other. Hopefully, pulling people a little further down the analog rabbit hole.

After studying Mechanical Engineering and then Digital Film & Video, film photography was what I was built for.
Calculated understanding, technical problem-solving, and physical process, all working toward a much harder-to-measure beauty.
The camera, the negative, the chemistry, the scan, the edit, the print. Each, a fork in the road, sending the image somewhere different.
Sometimes you know where you’re trying to end up, sometimes the process is the whole point.
I’ve been carrying cameras around since I was about eight, and most of what I’ve chased since has been some version of that same obsession.

Workshops, free photowalks, honest advice, and a place for Alaska’s film shooters to find each other.
