Take It Easy Lab
Take It Easy Lab is an inclusive film lab offering developing, scanning and printing services for amateurs, pros and everyone in between. Offering both mail-order and drop-in services, the team are passionate about making sure that everyone gets the best film experience possible. Take It Easy Lab doesn't just provide a service that ends with getting your photos back, they offer an inclusive space where everyone can come together, learn and share experiences through exhibitions, events and resources.
Set up in September 2020 by cousins Liam Henry and Joe Singleton, as well as business partner Nick Baines, Take it Easy Lab has now developed over 80,000 rolls of film and grown the family business to a team of 10. As the business keeps progressing, Take it Easy Lab hopes to run more workshops, events and community-led outreach.
Take it Easy Lab heard about LCVS through a friend who already had a studio space in the building, and they took a liking to it, eventually making the space their own. The space has allowed the business to expand, as it gave the team the opportunity to have a city centre location at a reasonable price, which is extremely hard to come by!
