What Laumont Studio does

Laumont Studio, operating legally as Laumont Photographics, is a fine art printing and production studio headquartered in a single climate-controlled facility at 44-01 21st Street in Long Island City, New York. Established in 1982, the company serves a mix of fine art photographers and artists, galleries, museums, institutional and corporate collectors, and media/entertainment clients, with named enterprise customers including Disney+, Netflix, ABC, NBC, Paramount+, Sony, Hulu, The Obama Presidential Center, and the Vancouver Art Gallery. The firm employs between 11 and 50 people and is privately held.

The studio's core technical stack centers on fine art photographic reproduction, combining traditional darkroom methods with modern digital printing. Equipment includes Durst Lambda and Lightjet 500xl printers for chromogenic prints up to 50" x 100", five drum scanners for film up to 11x14", a Cruse fine art scanner for oversized and reflective originals up to 48x72", and a SwissQ Impala UV printer for direct-to-substrate UV printing. The service portfolio is end-to-end: UV and pigment printing, chromogenic and silver-gelatin B&W printing, scanning, high-end digital retouching, mounting and lamination, conservation framing using archival materials, custom museum-grade crating with birch plywood, and Tri-state area plus nationwide and international delivery and installation.

Laumont operates a project-based, quote-driven professional services model. Pricing is set per project and is not publicly disclosed, with one exception: gallery retouching is listed at $250 per image for the first hour, with additional time billed in half-hour increments. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales driven by word-of-mouth and reputation within the NYC art community, supplemented by a content-heavy website (services pages, file upload, and a news/blog showcasing recent institutional and gallery projects). There is no disclosed revenue, parent company, or external investment; operating geographies span the New York City and Tri-state area at the core, with US-wide and overseas delivery and installation capacity for higher-end engagements.
