Although digital cameras are more popular nowadays than the classic film cameras, many photographers still love to shoot using film. That wouldn't be a problem if you could find a darkroom near your location to develop your pictures.

Sure, professional photographers who still use film cameras have their own darkroom at home or at their studio, but many film shooters don't have access to a darkroom of their own.

HARMAN Technology Limited, owner of the ILFORD PHOTO brand, has provided a website for the photographic community, where everyone who doesn't have access to a darkroom can find one near their location.

LocalDarkRoom.com aims to connect film photographers around the world and encourages its users to list their location and facilities for free. Moreover, professionals who teach various darkroom techniques are also invited to make an entry.

Users looking for a darkroom in a specific area can place a marker to indicate their interest and, by doing so, can signal potential darkroom owners to get in touch or register the facility.
