Rock Star Jack White Launches Photo Lab and Studio
Rock star Jack White, best known as the singer and guitarist of The White Stripes, has launched a new photo lab and studio in Nashville, Tennessee. Called Third Man Photo Studio, the lab is now accepting film from photographers worldwide.
The lab’s photo chemists hand-process C-41 color negative, black-and-white, and E-6 slide films. They also use traditional photo enlargement techniques to create one-of-a-kind archival prints.
What’s more, the lab is also offering the conversion of digital photos into physical negatives that can be used in enlargers to make fine art prints.
Processing a 35mm, 110, 120, or 220 roll of film in C-41, B&W, E6, and Cross Processing costs $7, $10, $13, and $10, respectively. A full price list for all the services offered can be found on the lab’s website.
Here’s a short 1-minute video introducing the new lab:
The famous Blue Room music space in the facility will also be available for renting as a photo studio. The space — which is the only venue in the world that does direct-to-acetate music recording — is a fully-equipped photo studio that includes a cyclorama wall.
If you’re interested in booking the space, you can contact the new business directly via email. You can also follow along with the studio’s “dark arts” on Instagram.
