FILM CLUB FAQS

Who should join the Film Photography Club?


Picture lovers and photographers of all levels who want connection with others, opportunities to learn, and a place to share their work.

What makes the Film Club a Good deal?


Of course! The membership quickly pays for itself — redeeming the monthly print alone covers the cost of the membership. It includes free high-resolution scanning on all film processing orders, a 10% discount on fresh film, and every month, you get a free 11x14 fine art print. Plus, you get exclusive access to events and the opportunity to be featured in our gallery.

Is this only for film photographers?


The club celebrates film photography but is open to all picture lovers! Anyone interested in photography, prints, and the creative community is welcome.

Is the club good for beginners?


Absolutely! The Film Photography Club welcomes photographers of all levels, including beginners who want to learn film photography and connect with the Philadelphia photography community.

What if I don’t live in Philly?


We have club members all across the country who join for the savings and opportunities to have their work featured. You can ship your film to us for processing from anywhere, and we can mail your Lustre print and fresh film straight to your door.

How does the free monthly print work?


Each month, Film Club members receive a code for one free 11×14 Fine Art Lustre print. The code is sent to your inbox and available in your account page.

Order your print online, upload your image, and redeem your print. You must be logged in to your account for the code to work.

What is Click Lab?


Hosted every third Thursday at PhotoLounge, several club members share their work and talk about their process with the community. It’s a chance to spark ideas and connect with other photographers in a relaxed setting over pizza and drinks. Attendance is free for club members — just RSVP.
