Bringing Film Development and Artwork Printing Services to Central Illinois – Looking for Feedback!
I’m a local entrepreneur and film photography enthusiast working to launch a new business right here in Central Illinois, and I’d love to hear your thoughts!
The business will focus on two main areas:
Film Development Services
- High-quality processing for 35mm and 120 film.
- Plans to expand into motion picture film processing, which is almost impossible to find locally.
- Mail-in options for those outside the immediate area.
Artwork Printing Services
- High-quality printing on premium gloss or matte paper, up to 17 inches wide.
- Ideal for photographers, artists, and students preparing for gallery shows, personal projects, or convention sales.
Why This Matters for Peoria
Central Illinois has limited options for film photography enthusiasts and artists. Places like Peoria Camera outsource their film processing, taking jobs out of the local economy, and most big-box stores don’t offer specialized printing services. My goal is to keep everything local while offering a level of quality and attention to detail you can’t get from large companies.
Why Now?
With film photography on the rise again and artists looking for affordable, high-quality printing, this feels like the perfect time to bring these services to the area.
How You Can Help
I’d love your feedback on:
- Would you use these services, or know someone who would?
- What’s missing in the local scene for photographers and artists?
- Any must-have products or services you’d want from a local shop?
Your thoughts and input would mean the world as I shape this into something that supports our community’s creative needs. Let me know in the comments or feel free to DM me!
Thanks for reading, and here’s to making Peoria even more creative!
