What customers say
In an era where photography is more popular than ever and film-photography has made a huge comeback, Latitude is absolutely a tremendous resource and gift to all Chicago area photography enthusiasts. From cautious beginner to seasoned professional, Latitude truly offers something for all levels of experience.
The best place in Chicago to get your film developed. I have used a few studios in Chicago to get my film developed and scanned. For one reason or another, I came away from the other places unsatisfied. This is not the case with Latitude. The staff is incredibly nice. Its an easy location to get to.
The grooviest DIY space to get printing and scanning done in Chicago. The staff is amazing attentive, and have Jedi level knowledge on all matters regarding high quality printing. Ps totally check out their fabric printing solutions.
Working with LATITUDE was a dream come true. Keanna and the team took great care to make sure my prints turned out exactly how I wanted. They are also very meticulous with their printers which a great experience after having had prints from other places where the color tones were off.
