Richard Photo Lab

About Richard Photo Lab

Let’s develop a relationship! As Los Angeles’ quality-obsessed film lab, Richard sweats the details of each and every frame (just like you do), providing every photographer with premium processing & scanning services.

Since 1970, Richard has been dedicated to the analog art of film—because we aren't just your film lab, we're your film partners. Because first-rate quality and ultra-fast service don't need to be mutually exclusive. Because film education isn't just our duty, it's our passion. Because your success is our success. And at Richard, every frame counts!

Our Team

Sir Richard Commander-In-Chief

Richard grew up in Pittsburgh, PA. His dad built race cars. His mom was a test pilot. From these humble beginnings, Richard learned the value of making things awesome. Richard fell in love with a girl and followed her to Hollywood. She introduced him to photography. Richard loved to develop her pictures. His love was infectious—and people came from all over to work with Richard. Once, the King of Astoria came to have Richard develop pictures of his pet cockatoo Edward. Upon receiving the developed pictures, the King dubbed Richard—Sir Richard. And so it stands today.

Richard is the first man here. He’s the last one to leave. If there’s a problem, he has an answer. If there’s an answer, he has a better one. Richard makes quality photography with love, and best of all, he’s here to help you.
