Listen up, cuties. We've got the new and very limited edition Delta 400 available in our shop! 🎞️
What to expect? Same Delta 400 characteristics you already know and love, but with increased dynamic range, shadow detail, anti-halation, and sharpness! ✅
More details and samples in our blog! 🫡

We've just got a hold of the brand new Lucky C400 and we're delighted to say that it looks great at box speed and scans well across the board. ✅
We smashed through a roll on a typically dull scottish day, and scanned it on both the Frontier and Noritsu. ☁️
Here's a selection from the roll. Frontier scans are the ones with a border! 🎞️
If you're into how these look and want to try it out for yourself, you can pick up a roll of C400 from us for £12 while stocks last - don't forget, you can now order to collect via our website! 🎁

Summer is very much in full swing, and we have a service update for you! 🚨
We are continuing to experience a huge volume of orders coming in to the lab, and we’re working literal overtime to try and get through them.
Unfortunately, we have fallen behind previous turnaround estimates since many of you handed your film in. We are now quoting ~10 working days for C41 & BW.
We are still getting dozens of emails chasing orders every day. We cannot respond to those and scan your film at the same time.
We kindly ask that you hold tight and you will receive an invoice as soon as your order’s ready. If there are any issues with your order, we will get in touch with you.
The TL;DR (but please do read) is that this is the busiest we have ever been, and we are working hard to deliver your photos as fast as we can.
So please. Please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please. Pretty please. Help us to help you. Stop chasing orders. We are eternally sorry. We feel like we're on fire. We're getting crispy.

Numbers are in for July and that was our busiest month on record! ☀️ So, a huuuuge thanks to all of you out there sending us your precious film to develop from quite literally all corners of the globe! 🌍
We're still working hard to get the backlog down, and really appreciate your patience while we do so. 🙌
Big love from all of us at Gulabi! 💕 x

The time has come to announce our next exhibition 🖼️
Sun's Out by Alastair Kingsbury! ☀️
This is the debut exhibition of a photographer who has been compulsively documenting street life in Glasgow and beyond for the last decade.
Sun's Out opens Saturday, July 18.
Please join us with Alastair for the opening night celebrations 18:30-20:30 🎉
140 Niddrie Road, G42 8QB
Alastair Kingsbury has spent the last ten years carrying his camera through the streets of Glasgow, capturing moments of absurdity, ambiguity, beauty and joy.
Powered by a restless FOMO every time the sun is out, Alastair documents the unexpected in everyday life playing out on the streets.
Life as a street photographer can be tough in a city with precious little sunlight, so you'll find gems from ventures further afield scattered throughout his work.
Inspired by the likes of Joel Meyerowitz, Alex Webb and Harry Gruyaert, Alastair is drawn to the moments he can't plan for. As Martine Franck put it, "you have to be constantly watching for it, ready to welcome the unexpected."

🏴 A season in Scottish football, shot on 35mm film and developed by @gulabiphoto 🧪
This was a year like no other. For a few months, the world looked on as Scottish football stood on the edge of transformation. A season where packed terraces whispered ‘what if?’. Late goals, broken Hearts and deep scars.
A reminder of something we all knew. That Scottish fitbaw still has the power to stir the soul, even when it refuses to change. But this time, the world saw.
As mad as this season has been, I could always rely on the cool heads of @gulabiphoto. There is a lot of trust when you hand over a roll of film. Those fleeting moments you capture will never come again. But with @gulabiphoto, I knew they were in safe hands. Top quality scans, delivered quickly and for a great price. If you haven’t tried their service before, don’t think twice about it.
In Gulabi We Trust. 🎞️🧪

So you've shot some bangers and want to drop off your film with us, but you've arrived at our old place? Don't worry, Gina is here to help!
Thank You, Gina! 💕

PROOF OF LIFE.
Hi! It's been quite the week. The lab on Torrisdale is no more and we've fully moved into Niddrie Road.
Here's a selection of photos from the move. And yes, the very fact you are seeing these means that the scanners survived the move and we've ALMOST got the lab up and running (just a few more things to check!). Phew. We have an insane backlog to get through so pretty please, with sugar on top, STOP EMAILING US TO CHASE YOUR ORDERS. We're on it, promise!
PS: if you see the shutter open in the old lab, don't go under looking for us. It'll be just you and the worms x

📣 Opening next week as part of @gifestival!
Glasgow-based artist and writer Lisette May Monroe (@lisette_may_monroe) presents ‘Hard Lines’ @gulabi.gallery from 5 – 21 June 2026. We are thrilled to support Lisette, as an Outer Spaces network artist, with production support for this new work.
‘Hard Lines’ is an autobiographical installation that uses sentimentality, nostalgia and revenge to navigate the aftermath of an abandoned relationship, while questioning what it means to inhabit a body stigmatised by the overhanging spectres of class, disability and menopause.
Where do long, sleepless nights lie within the mire of the late thirties? Where do heartache and longing reside amid the frenzy of shame? When the body begins to give up the ghost, as it has threatened to do since birth - particularly now in its most dire of hours, how does this haunting not become consuming?
In her autobiography, Hilary Mantel writes, “I began this writing in an attempt to seize copyright in myself.” Hard Lines is an exercise in doing the same, drawing an edge around experience and representing it as fact.
Lisette May Monroe is an artist and writer based in Glasgow. She is the director of Rosies Disobedient Press alongside Adrien Howard. Lisette is also an Art Critic, reviewing exhibitions and interviewing artists for The Guardian, Frieze, Plaster, TANK and Elephant.
Hard Lines, Lisette May Monroe

The cat’s out of the bag…
We’re Moving! 🚚
We loved our little nook on Torrisdale St, but as we’ve grown it has become increasingly claustrophobic, and the time has come to move to somewhere larger.
So here’s a few things you need to know about real quick.
Still firmly rooted in Govanhill, we are quite literally moving around the corner to 140 Niddrie Road, G42 8QB. We’ll be shutting down operations for one week on Saturday 30th May, and we’ll be back in action processing and scanning on Monday 8th June.
The cutoff dates and times for orders being brought into our system are as follows:
🟡 Colour/C41 cutoff - Friday 29th May @ 12:00
⚫️ B&W cutoff - Thursday 28th May @ 12:00
🏬 Shopfront closes - Saturday 30th May @ 16:00
✨ Shopfront reopens - Wednesday 10th June @ 10:00
Any film brought into our system after the cutoff times will be processed when we reopen on Monday 8th June.
We aim to be back up to speed as soon as possible, so please refrain from chasing orders during this time as we're gonna be too busy chuggin' red bull to check our emails!

🎞️ Now processing E6 🎞️
Lovers of fine grain, rich contrast, and saturation dialled to 11, rejoice 🙌
We're very pleased to announce our new E6 service!
💷 £15 for dev and scan, £10 for dev only
📷 35mm & 120
⏱️ Turnaround of ±14 working days
🧪 Genuine E6 chemistry
Processing is outsourced to a dedicated lab and positives are scanned in-house.
We’re also stocking E6 films for sale in-store (Kodak E100 and Fuji Provia).
With less dynamic range than C41 stocks, shooting reversal film can be daunting, so check out our blog for some practical advice on how to successfully shoot colour reversal film for the first time, with side-by-side comparisons between the Noritsu and Frontier! 🫡
