f/32 Professionals

The change from Express Photo Center to f/32 Photo has our customers buzzing with questions! This is all very exciting for us and we hope it is exciting for you as well! We are doing our best to answer your questions as detailed as we can and supply you with all of the information that we have to offer! One major buzz currently is our request for proper documents from our professional photographers to qualify for pro pricing. Many of you have asked about the specifics of these documents and how to acquire them. If that is you, then this blog should help! We at f/32 Photo have a goal to be the best professional print lab we can be and part of that is offering as much as we can to our pro photographers. The pricing scale is significantly lower for those professionals that have a sales and use tax blanket certificate of resale and/or business license on file with us. It is a fairly simple and timely process. One of the most popular questions is “when do I need a business license?“. This link will explain in detail the circumstances in which you are required to obtain a business license. The other popular question is “where do I get the form and file?”. If doing business in the city of Knoxville you must apply with both the city and the county. I hope that this information helps! If you have any further questions please feel free to contact f/32 Photo, we will be happy to help! Don’t forget to become a fan on facebook for lots of exciting updates on what is to come at f/32!

Why Choose Us?

A big question among professional photographers and everyday consumers alike is what lab to trust with their photo processing. There is a drugstore with a mini lab on every corner and dozens of online labs so why choose a local professional lab? The convenience, quality and customer service are what set us apart from the rest!
The convenience offered by a local pro lab is a combination of what drugstore labs and online labs can offer. By choosing a local pro lab you are given a quick turn around time, like you receive from a drugstore, as well as the ability to pick up your order rather than paying shipping fees. We also offer a variety of ways to send your orders, much like online labs, you can send orders through FTP, Dakis, Labtricity, e-mail or hand delivery depending on which method best fits your need. Your orders are then received and immediately printed with any special instructions you may include and are typically available within an hour.
Quality is definitely something that speaks for itself. We work very hard to be proud of every image that leaves our building. We use top grade products to assure that you are happy with your final result. Our Fujicolor Crystal Archive Professional paper often sets us apart from other labs because of its superiority to other paper. Our trained professional lab technicians constantly monitor our equipment to make sure that it is in top condition and produces the best quality possible. The final product is what people see and what they possess and we are determined to make it something that is treasured.
The one major thing that sets a local professional lab apart from any other lab is the customer service. There is a certain comfort that comes from placing your order into the same set of hands you have grown to trust, time and time again. Our lab techs develop relationships with our customers, we become familiar with their work and their likes and dislikes. We carefully look over every order that is received to make sure that it is exactly as the customer wants before printing. We treat each order as though it is our own and with any question that arises, we won’t hesitate to call and clarify. Once an order is printed it is then delicately packaged and you are given a personal call to let you know your order is ready for pickup or shipped, depending on the chosen method. We are also available to assist you in many other ways, whether you have a question about Photoshop, how to design an album or just a second opinion, we are happy to help!
Other labs may have their advantages but a local professional lab has the most to offer. Not only do you get the convenience and quality but also the best customer service available whether you are in need of a print, an album, photo retouching, restoration or a great photo gift. While you may pay a little more, remember you aren’t just paying for a print, you are paying for an experience as well as expertise. So hopefully in making your decision on what type of lab to choose you will take this into consideration and pay us, your local professional lab, a visit!

Easter Reflections

Easter has come and gone at Express Photo and it was a fantastic year! We had more sessions than ever before and got to meet and photograph a lot of new customers! We always look forward to this time of year with all the smiling faces and fresh spring outfits, and this year was no different! Our wonderful bunny, Roxy, was a huge hit! She eagerly awaited the arrival of new friends and cuddled with every baby that came through! Everyone loved her the moment they saw her and our staff was no exception! We have spent a lot of time with Roxy and have been greatly entertained over the last month! She certainly has a shining personality and loves to show it! You can see a little of that on the video posted on our facebook page ! We hope to see everyone again next year, along with all your friends! In the meantime look forward to hearing about some great things to come from Express Photo Studio in the very near future!

Take a look at some of the great moments captured throughout the Easter season!

Easter is around the Corner!

Easter is almost here and do you know what that means?

Hop on over to Express Photo Center and meet ROXY!

Roxy is the newest addition to Express Photo Center’s Studio Staff.  No, you won’t find her holding a Canon 5D, but sitting patiently in an adorable Easter Basket provided by From Me to You!  She is the best bunny in town and her personality proves it.  When she isn’t posing in front of the camera, this big-eared bunny is happily hopping around, rolling over, and climbing everything she can.  Although, when the camera is poised and ready, she holds every pose and cuddles with the kids!  A true professional model.

Take a look at some of the successful sessions we have had already!  Schedule early because appointments are going fast.  This is our 5th year doing Easter Bunny pictures so we have reworked our sessions to benefit you.  With a new low $10 sitting fee that includes 6 Easter Cards, a wide variety of poses, and all images uploaded to a secure online ordering gallery, you are sure to be pleased with Express Photo Center’s Studio.  More photos are available with our newly revamped portrait packages.  Feel free to bring in your own children’s Easter Baskets or other props to personalize your photo session.
