The Digital Darkroom is an Art gallery & professional photographic and digital imaging studio located in the heart of Mt Eden, at 273 Dominion Road.

The Digital Darkroom offers a range of photographic and digital imaging services. We produce very high quality prints on canvas and Hahnemuhle fine-art papers especially photo rag paper. Hahnemuhle is a German company that has been making paper since the late 1500s.

We have the ability to transfer pretty much all of your information on file into the printed output; delivering great results. We are able to deliver smooth tonal ranges without losing the vividness of a good punchy high contrast print.

Opening Hours: Weekdays: 9:00am - 5:30pm. Sat: 10:00am - 2:00pm, Sun: closed
