Press FAQ

Before publishing.

May I use the press photographs for an editorial article?

Yes. Send the publication, subject, preferred language, deadline and whether the interview is written, recorded or filmed to info@photostudioberlin.com.

Can journalists visit or film inside the analogue film lab in Berlin?

Visits and filming can be arranged around production. Some stages require controlled light, chemistry safety and customer privacy, so access must be scheduled in advance.

Are current customer and production figures available?
