About us
We are Shutter and Grain
Shutter and Grain is an independent film lab based in the Rhondda valleys, run by two photographers with a shared love for analogue. We develop, scan, and print film in-house, with a strong focus on quality and attention to detail. Every roll is treated with care, no matter who it’s from.
We believe in keeping film photography accessible, offering fair pricing, friendly advice, and a reliable service you can trust. Whether you’re posting in your film or visiting us in person, you’ll find a space where passion meets craft – and where your images are always in good hands.
