We got great service from Daniel to get our passport photos taken! He was really nice, took them quickly, printed them while we waited, and he got all four of us done in about 8 minutes out the door. He charged the same price as CVS to take and print the photos but did not charge us extra for digital files to my email. Plus his antique camera collection was pretty cool to look at!. Planning to return another day to get some old negatives digitized and will update my review when I do. read more

Fotoby - Collection of classic cameras inside his shop. - Photography Stores & Services Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Quick passport photo service. Cool storefront too. He's in a tight niche there. But if I want photo prints, I'll go back.

Mr. Daniel Yu from Fotoby is GODSENT! Right before having my obituaries for my mother printed out, I discovered a pixelated picture. With little to no time and stressed nerves, Daniel perfected the picture while offering the most heartfelt condolences. Daniel's skills, professionalism, and kindness will never be forgotten. read more

I got my passport photo taken here. Very quick service, in and out in 10 minutes. Owner is very nice and skilled. He will retouch your photo for you as well. Got 2 prints and a digital copy of the passport photo. Highly recommend!!! read more

This is the one and only place I love to develop my film at ! I've been coming here since 2021, I discovered it one day just looking for places that develop rolls of film since my city doesn't have any places like this, well besides like a CVS (which take FOREVER or loses your film or doesn't take rolls of film). Here are some pictures that I've developed here! read more

DANIEL IS THE BEST! I went to transfer my vhs to mp4 so that I could have all of my home videos and Daniel did amazing. He is to kind and knowledgeable! I can't wait to go back and drop off my film and more videos. read more

Friendly, helpful, and quick! Despite losing power, they were still able to develop my film in under an hour! The place is clean and has a certain aesthetic that when you go in, you know you're about to get some good service. read more

Really great place to get your passport photos taken! Highly recommend! Lot of cool antique cameras to admire in the shop too.

Daniel is fantastic! He has always been there to help with any simple development or special photo touch up.

I went in for passport photos. Daniel was on his lunch break and did not mind at all. He took my photo right away and did the finishing touch up on his computer. He took one shot and the photo turned out great. He definitely knows what he is doing. I know you can take your passport photos with your phone with a white background but the photo is going to stay on your passport for 10 ten years so I would just use a professional to do it. It was a reasonable price at $15 + tax. I received two photos and one electronic copy emailed to me. I renewed my passport online with no issues with the photo. Easy!! By the way, he is moving a few doors down (closer to Subway). read more

Awesome Daniel is the best. Even processed my last batch for free since we were troubleshooting my Leica and he's also a Leica man.

Quick, efficient and great quality! Friendly neighborhood business that I always go back to! read more

Came to Fotoby to print out my son's graduation pictures. The customer service was the best, and the paper quality he uses to print is also so good. I'm very happy with my visit. I will be coming back for all my photo printing needs. Thank you! read more

I came here because I needed a passport picture. The passport picture I taken 4 days prior did not come out well. I went to a notary shop which offered passport photos. I was very unhappy with the pic so I had to go to more of a professional. I found this place surfing the internet. The reviews were awesome, so I decided to give it a try. I was very happy with the outcome. Way better!!! I would recommend this place. The guy was very nice and helpful. I never write reviews, but because I was so happy with the outcome it inspired me to write a review for this place. read more

I love coming here. I've been coming here for over a year getting all of my disposable cameras developed. He is so nice, and he is always super helpful :) read more

I've printed photos here in years past. Recently I took my passport photos here. He did it for a great price, and he touched up the photos for free. Most other printing places don't do that. The owner is a nice guy too. read more

Love this local photo shop! The owner is so sweet, he even helped me take those annoying little price tag stickers off of my photo frames once when I had brought them in for some photos he had printed. Very genuine and kind. This is our go to spot for anything photo related--highly recommend :-) read more

This place is great becaise they are very honest and quality in their services. I first called them to ask if they still develop APS films and surprisingly he said yes. First and foremost, I called and went to many photo shops and none of them develop APS anymore. It was a really hard find, but I guess that just leads to a better opportunity to go to thia guy's shop. It was clean and showed alot of the products and services that he did. For example, printing on shirts, phone cases, framing, of course printing from digital or film, and he also does DVD transfer from VHS. So after I brought in my APS film he said that he is not sure if he can do it because it may not fit his machine. And so he tried and said that it won't fit, bit he said there was another way. It was to take it out of the crarridgeand print it out manually. Most stores/shops won't go through all that trouble and just say that they can't do it, but at least this guy suggested and tried it. He was also very informing about what vintage SLR camera is good for a beginning film photographer like me. And I asked around before him too and he gave about the same answer, so I know he was being honest. His shop is pretty cool, he has alot of vintage cameras on display but is not for sale. It just shows that this guy is the real deal and knows about cameras. Oh and they also develop 135mm black and white and print for 8.99 and it's a bit expensive because they do everything manually. Color is cheaper because they can just use the machine. This person was really nice and I highly recommend this place for your photo needs. read more

Ran across some old rolls of film and brought them here for developing. Fast, friendly service and definitely beats having to walk into a nasty drug store! Highly recommended. read more

Having a local place that develops film is a blessing, in any religion. It doesn't seem like anyone takes the time to continue taking care of film machines anymore, which used to be all over. The best part about Fotoby is that everyone working there is really nice and helpful. They know what they are talking about. I was able to have an old 110 roll developed, while places like the 1 hour photo, on Western and Park Western, could not do it. Great service, very helpful, wide variety of services, and a wall of vintage cameras..which would earn any respectable institution 5 stars. read more

Daniel is the best. We've used him several times for printouts of photographs we need framing or blowing up. For a recent job we gave him, we only had an old, low quality image that we wanted blowing up. Daniel took the time to scan this and meticulously edit and clean up the image to ensure the best print out, and the end result was awesome. Highly recommend. read more

I have been a photo bug since high school (40 years) there is only one place that I trust my developing, printing and editing to and that is Daniel at Fotoby. He is a one man show and works tirelessly to make sure that my photos are perfect. His prices are very reasonable and in my opinion he has no competition in the area. I would highly recommend his work. read more

My family and I having been customers for many years for all our photo/video needs, passport photos, and more. As I was planning a surprise for my parents anniversary, I unfortunately got their wedding VHS stuck in the VHS player. I was so distraught and frantically called the store. Daniel suggested I bring the machine over with the tape, and he was able to get the tape out super quick and without damage! I was so grateful! Needles to say, I came back to the store several weeks later and had the anniversary tapes transferred to DVD. Thank you Fotoby! read more

Ive been coming here since i was a child.. And i still love it! Same quality with the same low prices! Seriously , if you have any trouble he will fix it and his printing skills are the best in town! I live in Lomita and drive all the way to his location to get any pictures printed. Never a bad decision. Thank you daniel! read more

Outstanding service to both pro or wanna be pro!! Good quality, fast service & well maintained equipment!! You must visit!!! Keep your valuable memory forever!! read more

I brought 35mm color film to be developed and scanned to digital copy and 120 color color film just to be developed. It was done by the time he told me it would be and the digital images were ok but after i scanned in my medium format film, i noticed how dirty the film was. I cleaned my scanned and film before scanning and now looking back at the negatives i see the dirt was dried onto the emulsion after the development process. With that being said I will take the drive out to weho to get my film taken care of by my old photo lab or spend the extra money to send it out to a professional company. read more

Convenient and affordably priced printing. Daniel is responsive, friendly and knowledgeable. High quality paper, accurate color, and great product. Cute shop, plenty of parking in the center, though it can be busy. Glad to have Fotoboy in town! read more

The owner of this business is very friendly and helpful. He doesn't over charge you and I would definitely recommend going here for any help you need regarding photography and cameras. (: read more

I took 125 photos of all shapes, ages and conditions to Fotoby and Mr Yu turned them into a fabulous slide show with music. The photos looked like they were taken yesterday. His attention to detail is unrivaled. As is his patience as I waffled back and forth selecting music. Yes, I've heard of photoshop, but I didn't have several months to learn how to use it; and certainly wouldn't have delved into all its nuances. Go now. Be amazed! read more

This man is literally the kindest. He gives you good deals if you just have a good conversation. Support small businesses but especially support minority owned small business!! also my photos have developed so beautifully every time I come back. read more

Great place to get your Passport photos, or any of your other photo needs. I came for my passport photo, he had a mirror to check your hair etc and he even advised me I needed a little lipstick(which I really did), he went over the first photo with me and then we redid it. I liked that you got to see what kind of picture you'll be carrying for the next ten years. Often times we end up with awful pictures we'd rather not show anyone (passport/license) but he takes the time to go over the picture and make any necessary adjustments . So I was very happy. Only took maybe ten minutes. For $20 I got four pictures, which is a good deal. I needed two extra for a visa. I like the shop, lots of cool old cameras to look at, chairs while you wait. They also do 1hour photo if you're still developing film. Great shop, great service read more

I took a roll of film in to see how well the scans would be and came out really disappointed seeing them all be blue. I was worried that my film was exposed incorrectly, but after taking them to another shop, they were just fine. I won't be back. read more
