We pay our respects and offer our gratitude to Elders past and present, and to those emerging leaders in the community. We acknowledge all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and the importance of their care and continued connection to culture, community and Country.

Always was, always will be.

We are open 10am–5pm. Our exhibitions are always free.

Silver Halide Studios is an independent film lab and supply based in Perth, Western Australia. 

Silver was set up by partners Aimee Clark and Alex Barley in august 2019. In June 2021 they opened their shop in Perth with an aim to further build the local film community. Now, the lab is run with two of their good friends alongside them – Luke and Robin!

The lab uses industry standard processors and scanners, creating high quality results suited for all levels of photographers. 

With a focus on sustainability, silver halide recycles, re uses and reclaims waste materials from the film process.
