The very beginnings of ELS evolved from Alan McFetridge’s darkroom use in the 1990’s, then into the emerging field of inkjet printing in the late 1990s which expanded the possibilities of digital scans to inkjet prints. When the dyes were replaced with more stable pigments this became the primary way to create the desired quality for repeatable portfolio prints. In 2022 the East London Superlab is where the curiosity and experimentation continues, hence where his fine art prints are made and where you can involve your own print making too.
Driven by the curiosity of image creation - how they can be seen in their entirety - the process out of digital negative remains an open field of possibility. The Super is the elevating unknown quantity that comes because this lab is also a workshop to test, research and innovate.
The print has been part of the imagination from the very beginning with Nicéphore Niépce’s, credited as the inventor of photography by fixing the image View from the Window at Le Gras, 1827 using bitumen, glass, light and lavender oil. Almost 200 years later the medium is rich with pioneers from street photographer Helen Levit to artist-photographer Jeff Wall that practice printing their work. The Superlab is set up to encourage the maker to print and gives access to otherwise cost intensive processes and equipment.
We believe the formation of a print is the critical point in the realisation of ideas and much more than a translation of a screen image to print. It is the beginning of a new life for the image and the resting place of the idea. The Superlab was conceived to find quality from a healthy sense of curiosity, experimentation and alchemy in the spirit of backyard ingenuity where nothing is impossible. We welcome those who want to work at the print as much as we do. Whatever weird and wonderful the idea, the better - serious fun.
