SV Photographic

SV stands for Satish and Vicky. We started our lab in March 1994. We are doing film processing (C41, E-6, B/W) upto 4"X 5" size and B/W hand printing on R.C. and fibre paper, scanning and system work on digital images. We also rent out medium format digital cameras. Market has suddenly changed in recent years. Earlier we used to do more work for advertising agencies but now we are doing more work for fine art photographers, advertising photographers as well as advertising agencies.

We started digital printing 5 years back with Epson inkjet printer, Nikon 9000 ED cool scanner and 2 mac systems but we are gradually upgrading our digital systems. Now we have Hasselblad flexilight X5 scanner, Epson stylus pro 11880, 9800 printers to cater to our photographers and artists. We are also doing silver prints (B/W only) and film processing upto 4"X5" because these handmade prints are very rare. Very few people are doing it across the world so they are more in demand.

We are doing more work for foreign photographers from UK, USA, Australia and they are satisfied with the quality of our work and are not complaining about the prices. So we are still charging less for facilities which are of world class standards.

We want to be digitally better equipped in the future but still we want to carry the legacy of traditional hand printing and film processing. We want to cater to more photographers and artists in future.
