Mike Roberts

My go to brick and mortar for film supplies. Take that, Amazon!

Louis Lerma

very good spot for a quick grab , nice and helpful staff

Joshua Minoda

Staff is very helpful and I wish there were more places like this. They had everything that I use for film photography and more. The film selection is great and the staff was very knowledgeable and passionate. I will go here every time when I come to Los Angeles.

Gordon Tiemstra

Great service, friendly people!

Virginia Tucker

Always the best! They have items no other photo supply store has. They're passionate about the craft, reasonable priced and very helpful.

Grim Sneaker

Knowledgeable staff, great supply that is unparalleled in the photography world. I am a photo teacher and this is one of my main places I use.

Jose Velez-Jimenez

First time visiting here, left work and made the drive over. Parking was easy to find. Easier if you're going eastbound on Sunset. First impressions were great, lots to see but everything was kept well organized. Raymond behind the film counter helped mr out and was incredibly helpful. He made some 120 film recommendations based on which film would be best for the settings I'll be shooting the pictures in. We talked about getting a camera repair and recommended me to a repair shop that also does developing. Helpful staff and the parking lot bonus makes this place the ideal place to get your film supplies.

Bartolome Feliciano

Great place, especially if you use film

tori holder

Amazing array of photo products at great prices. Their staff is also super helpful. A darkroom lovers dream as well as an oasis for the printing digital kid

Galvin Tan

Awesome!

Michael Holden

Great paper selection. Staff is totally cool. Other customers are interesting. Good parking right out front for free. They had what I needed in stock, which has never happened before in a brick and mortar store. Worth the trip.

Jennifer Martinez

Great supply store for analog photographers

Zoran Milosavljevic

If you need film or chemicals this is one of the only places in the country to go they have almost everything and the staff is knowledgeable.

Bernie Reeds

Only a small item but treated as if i'd bought the store,great service, Thanks.

Joe Wehry

They are on the other side of the country (from NY perspective, anyway) so I only use them for catalog ordering. Very fast service, great products and fair prices. Every time I get their catalog it's like a shopping holiday all over again.

Shannon Henwood

Range and service is brilliant

Randorn Canis

Gigantic film chemistry store. Somewhat skimpy on gear. Tones of inkjet papers. Decent prices, too.

Tabatha Chaney

Good selection of supplies, nice staff.

Bruce Taylor

I have been buying supplies from Freestyle for over 40 years. What a great store. They have everything you need for analogue photography. Very knowledgeable staff too.

Joni Indursky

Great experience. Great inventory. Very helpful.

Robert Tucker

Always have what I need and are always pleasant. Cannot speak to the employees knowledge since I always know what I'm going for but they seem helpful.

Larry Uribe

Great selection and prices.

John Anderson

Worth the drive from the valley to get B&W film chemicals at great pricing. Anything you need for film photography and a solid digital section too. Lots of inkjet photo papers, printers etc. Friendly and always good info and advice.

Phillip Le Gault

So much of their inventory is 'in the back' so you have to go online first to shop before you go in anyways. Browsing does nothing for you here. Kinda frustrating so just order online, but if you're doing that then you can probably find it cheaper anyway somewhere else.

Anna Sargsyan

They have everything for film photography

Abdullah Helwani

One stop shop for photographers, B&W and color.

steve sase

Old school photo shop

Dyanna Jimenez

Thomas behind the film counter, helped me find the right 120 film. He showed me examples and explained the differences. He was so nice and not at all haughty about it.

Will Sampson

I love this place, They have everything I need for my photography supplies. I also take all my film there to get developed. Their staff is very knowledgable and helpful.

amy russell

This place is a gem. I’m a high school photography teacher who still includes darkroom photography in my curriculum. I’m positive I would not be able to do this if freestyle didn’t exist. They have all the stuff (at good prices). In addition they have great resources for digital photography as well as historical processes. Staff are awesome. I love Freestyle!

Chad Kotz

One of the few places left in the country that has a wide array of quality film photography supplies - both common and rare. There's also films available on their shelves that you quite literally aren't going to find elsewhere. Every time I come in they are stocked with 35mm, 120/220, sheet film, Super8, and 16mm. If you're a little lost, the staff is generally knowledgeable, very helpful, and very nice. The unfortunate thing is that Freestyle is consistently more expensive than other (mostly online) outlets - but that's a worthwhile trade off for the generous selection and good knowledge. I wish they would work on building up a good film community in Los Angeles by opening up a community darkroom, hosting gallery events/photowalks, or maybe just doing a cameras and coffee mixer. I think that would really take this place to the next level.

Christopher Hughes

Such a helpful and friendly photo store. They have a huge film selection stored in their glass door refrigerators.

Paul Fernandez

Awesome!

Felipe Stahlhoefer

I had a small problem with the billing, which was solved by seller Kristina. Great prices and great service

Ivan R

Black and white film is true photography.

Greg Vega

Nice place

Ethan Ingram

The mecca for film photographers. Knowledgeable and helpful staff as well!

Medford Deforest

Polaroid, paper, .... Develope, stop, fix.

April Cristin Gomez

Go here all the time, mostly because of my photo classes. But i have gone here for personal reasons. Kept clean, good service, and my favorite part almost never a line.

Joe Siu

Went to buy some Porta 400. They had it. Looks like a great shop. Pls support it!

Leo Gonzalez

Great place to buy photographic supplies!

SL!ME BALLZ

Great products, reasonable prices, with great staff too!

Bee M

Love it! One of the very few photo supply stores left in L.A. Better than Sammy's camera. Student discounts available.

Evan Halfmann

Pretty good selection of darkroom supplies, chemicals, film, etc. if not a little overpriced. Employee who sold me a couple rolls of film seemed completely preoccupied like he was day dreaming and really wasn't helpful at all.

Lauralee Pickard

Went here for passport photos for some visas. The man that helped me was very nice and processed my photos quickly. It was definitely conveient and fast but I thought it was a bit expensive. Freestyle Photographic Supplies passport photos. I would recommend b/c its a local store, service is friendly and fast.

Jon Faifer

A friendly little Photography supply store.

Hal Zeitlin

They took care of me when I was in need. Thank you for your time and help.

Bea Ingle

Great! I love small businesses because the owners tend to be very personable. I had that experience at the Photo Center to get a new passport photo taken. The owner was fast, friendly and even suggested I fill out my passport application online so that there wouldn't be any issues in processing it and gave me a slip of paper telling me the website to go to

William Mallick

This place was friendly and had a great selection of equipment and materials, including 35mm film like Fuji Velvia and Kodak TMax.

Tom Sterling

Great selection. Friendly staff. Fine prices. Just a really pleasant place to pick up some gear in a hurry.

Thorsten Overgaard

Experts on digital printing and setting up printers one-on-one for excellent print quality.

a r

I want badly to give 5 stars but the student discount needs to be renewed every quarter, and they offer no other types of discounts.

Benjamin Adams

A quick and easy spot to get passport photos done. Only 10 minutes. I enjoyed looking at all of the digital camera. This place is awesome.

Suzanne Hull

Great resource and very helpful people there.

Nate Brav-McCabe

Had to cancel an order, Kristina Loughery responded immediately and cancelled it with no problems. I'll definitely order from them in the future

Pia Cromer

They offer an extensive variety of film along with printing services - and all for a reasonable price. If you're in a hurry order online and pick up in store.

Dylan Borgman

I like freestyle, but "one stop shop for cameras and equipment" it is not. This store mostly sells dark room equipment, framing supplies and film. You'd be hard pressed to make any major camera, grip or lighting purchases here.

Hastings Evelyno

I get everything done here. Classy clean and modern. Knowledgeable staff. Services keep expanding and new frame collection is top notch. I've yet to master file transfer but I'm sure it's just me.

Patrick White

These guys know more about inkjet printing than anywhere else. They also have the biggest selection of film, paper and chemicals I've ever seen. Thank you for existing!

andrew lopez

The best place to get film photography equipment hands down! I've gotten everything from developing equipment, paper, and film. And the staff is always helpful and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this store!

Jessica Chortkoff

I didn't want to like them. I was loyal to Samys because I am a sucker for the huge beautiful vintage beauty of the building. This place is on my way to school and is reasonable and the staff is super friendly and extremely knowledgeable. I always come out of here feeling good about my purchase and going there is sorta like Disneyland.

David Auner

Excellent selection of films and chemicals. Knowledgeable staff!

Florin G

The place is a treasure for any creative person involved on analog photography. Great employees, who can help to. Tons of film , paper, amazing selection on chemistry. Enlargers are overpriced, there are better deals on used equipment on the free market. Some other items are a little bit more than some deals online, but it might worth for the convenience of having such a huge supply in one place, and a brick and mortar business that keeps it alive in 2018(almost 19)...is mind boggling. They cary more stuff than Wolf camera, and the now gone Calumet had in their film days...combined. They managed to have in stock the German made, classic film Atomal 49, in a non retail packaging... a developer I have used last time in 1984. Just stop by, buy your supplies, be creative, well worth it, free parking.

Mario Rivera

Great photography supplies. Good prices

Shaine Edmond

I took a recent visit to this photography shop just to see if they did lens repairs, unfortunately they didn't but they supplied me with some other locations nearby that did along with phone numbers and addresses. Great service.

Humberto Bermudez

Great for black and white photographer s

Ruben Arce

This place is great. They have it all for analog photography and some good things for digital. I used to buy most of my supplies online, but Freestyle offer better prices and variety than eBay. Hard to believe but true.

Steven Thomas

They set aside the piece (green scree) just like I asked. Quick service, knowledgeable and friendly. I would be glad to come back again. Not to mention the item I asked for was half the price of what other stores I checked into! So glad I kept looking.

Curlypengling

Great shop

Sarkis Rshdouni

Great place, with countless varieties. The staff was nice and welcoming. Prices are cheaper than anyone else, especially from Sammy’s store in Pasadena. I bought a pack of 100 photographic papers HP5 for $78 ($83 original price) with student discount, where the same thing at Sammy’s was at $99! Definitely shopping here again.

Howard Pan

A convenient place to buy one’s photography supplies online.
