Photo Shoot & Photo Lab

High quality color photography and its rapid advancement was at the roots of SCALA. Today we still believe in the importance of accuracy and quality and with our photographers we regularly carry out photo shoot campaigns with a digital back in very high resolution and according to new technologies.

The careful preservation of our transparencies archive (mainly 13×18 cm and 20×25 cm) allows us to obtain high quality enlargements; these in turn allow for printing giant photographs and masterpieces of art in 1:1 scale or to zoom in enlarging even minute details without loss of sharpness or fidelity to the original.

THE DIFFERENCE IS IN THE DETAILS!
