How does it work?
1. Book an appointment.
2. Show up on time for your appointment. (You may have to wait 5 minutes for us to set up for you).
3. Any time spent using any of our equipment, including washers and dryers, is counted as part of your appointment.
4. Please factor your washing, pressing, and drying time into your booking slot.
5. You can cancel or change your appointment using your confirmation email. Same day cancellations will incur a $10 penalty.
Customers,
Due to cancellations and scheduling issues, we are now collecting a deposit for all appointments which will count towards your hourly rate. You may cancel or change your appointment using your confirmation email. Any same day cancellations will incur a $10 fee. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Please feel free to reach out at any time with questions or concerns.

What to bring and what to expect:
In addition to bringing your printing tools (negatives, sleeves, paper), we recommend wearing closed toed shoes, bringing a snack, and bringing some water.
When you arrive at Gowanus Darkroom, please check in with an employee to begin your appointment. We are located on the second floor of our building at unit #212.
Please factor in your washing, drying, and pressing time into your appointment slot. Any time spent using Gowanus Darkroom equipment is counted in your paid time, including heated drying, washing, and pressing. You may leave your prints overnight free of charge.
Limit ONE customer per appointment. All guests will need to pay the hourly booking. (This is a matter of space rather than enlarger usage. We have very limited space in our shared darkroom.)
You can cancel your appointment up to 3 hours before your appointment starts. Cancellation less than 3 hour before will incur a $10 penalty. Please be courteous and cancel ahead of time if you will not be making your appointment.
Please do not come if you are feeling under the weather or have exhibited any symptoms of sickness or illness of any kind.
