About Us

Aire Street Darkroom is a community-run not-for-profit darkroom a (very) short walk from Leeds Railway Station.

It’s one of the only black and white film darkrooms that enables photographers and printmakers in the North of England to process their own films and make their own photographic prints. The facilities are available to those who join as members and then it’s as simple as booking onto a session through the members area.

 

We set up Aire Street Darkroom in 2017, not just to have a place in Leeds to make photographic prints, but because we like the social aspect that photography can bring. We like to get together to make prints together, to see what we’re all working on and even to continue discussions outside of the darkroom. We’re really keen for new people to join so we can grow this community.

It’s for photographers of all abilities
