About
As part of our ongoing commitment to supporting photography in all its forms, we are especially thrilled and proud to offer the photographic community a brand new, 400 square foot darkroom. Built for the professional but user-friendly for beginners, The Darkroom at JDPW boasts five Durst 1200 4×5 enlargers complete with Rodenstock Apochromatic lenses (several Rodenstock lenses are available in each focal length), four bladed easels of all sizes, and capability of up to 20×24 prints. A hot press machine for flattening prints is also available. With high ceilings and ample ventilation, master printer Steve Moulton has labeled the room as “the nicest darkroom in Los Angeles.”
