Shannon Strauss Photography

Five star staff! Always helpful and willing to teach me new things about developing film. On top of being great people they turnaround development quickly and the results are dependable.

Just started shooting film after 12 years of just digital. Everyone at Panda has been so helpful and kind. They have talked me through my seemingly endless questions with patience. Their darkroom and printing skills are as equally impressive as their customer service skills. I'm fortunate to live close enough to walk in. It's a great business all the way around. More...

Working with Shannon was an absolute joy. She was very professional and took some really great photos for us. We also got a bunch of prints at a good price.

We absolutely loved the pictures Shannon took! Prior to the wedding day, we went over the pitures we wanted, and she nailed it. She was an absolute doll and very professional. I would recommend her to anyone! More...

Very sweet and professional. I felt comfortable working with her and she really understood what I wanted to capture. Thank you, Shannon!

I've worked with Panda Lab for years, taking all of my film there for everything from just messing around to big, important projects. They consistently do excellent work, and they're very accommodating for whatever request you may have. I trust them 100% with my film. Great folks running this place.

As far as I know, it's the only place left in the entire Seattle area that will develop film on-site. We're fortunate that it also happens to be a great shop. If you shoot film around Seattle, keep it local and give them your business. More...

This place isn't a rip-off. After reading other reviews, I shouldn't be surprised, but I am. I have been having film developed here for years, and I have not had any issue with either the service or the staff. It is a great feeling to support local, but it is more than that. They do good work! If you have concerns, talk to them. I have never found them anything other than knowledgeable and accommodating. I feel sorry for small business owners having to deal with the public. As an avid photographer, I am constantly shooting Ektar 100 and any variety of b/w stocks, mostly Kodak. I know I can count on this local lab to deliver, and I will continue to support them and sing their praises. Going online is lazy and unwarranted when you have an outstanding lab right in your own backyard. And I live on the Eastside, and I don't believe in that "invisible wall" that everyone sees when they think Seattle is "too far". I stand with Panda Lab. More...

Panda has done great work for me for 10 years now..
I shoot mostly color negative film in the 35mm and 120 formats, but sometimes color positive and black and white films.
They do a great job of processing, scanning and burning to disc or any memory device I want.
I've had a few large prints done at the lab. No problems to report in their printing. Always cheerful service.
Thanks Panda Lab. More...

Brought in a photo slide from 1960s, clerk recognized photo type instantly and had my photo ready the next day! They even color corrected as much as they could. So happy with the results.

Super nice store! My film got stuck in my camera and they took it out without any charge. Plus they've got a cute dog named Ducky.

Experience has been consistently good. They offer plenty of services, and fast turn around. Prices are good for film development.

I lucked out with the darkroom gal (Mary), not knowing where to go in Seattle. I'd made some crude printouts with some instructions as to alignment and cropping and dodging, but she implicitly understood what I was after and the wedding print from a 25 yo B&W negative came out beautifully. That kind of expertise has reignited my interest in photography. More...

I have done mostly 120 B&W with the lab and I am very happy with how the processed film looks. 5 stars. I have the equipment at home, but no matter how careful I am I always get spots on my negs. Panda's processing is spotless. I now have a scanner and my darkroom equipment has sat idle for a long time. Will most likely put it up for sale. I was never a good printer anyway and I get great results by digitizing my negatives. More...

Brought my son, who is just taking an interest in photography, to show him what a pro lab can do to transform a print. Jackson was fantastic, took the time to show him around the lab, let him watch the whole process and explained what he was doing. Great service.

Best lab in Seattle! The work is high quality and archival. I have been a customer for over 20 years.
