Photographic Laboratory Worker

Photographic Laboratory Workers use various chemical or water baths to develop exposed film. A series of steps are involved in created photographic images. Lab workers start the process by mixing developing and fixing solutions, then placing the film in the developer, stop bath, and fixer, creating a negative image. They time the film’s immersion in the chemical bath based on the type of developer that is being used, as well as the effects that are specified for each print. After they remove the film from the developer, they remove all of the chemicals by immersing the film into water and then finally place it inside a drying cabinet.
