Argentum Photo Lab was created in 1987 by Ajay Jhaveri in a small room in Hollywood. It started as a custom lab with one enlarger, four trays and no employees. Expert printing and great customer service has helped us grow to be the leading headshot lab in Hollywood.

In 2002 we teamed up with our friends at division-7 and that allowed us to rapidly enter the digital photo revolution. We still work closely with them and they have an answer and solution to every question or idea we may have. The folks at division-7 helped us get an online presence and made it possible for us to be the first headshot lab to offer online proofing and ordering.

At this point we decided to concentrate only on the headshot business and reluctantly gave up all forms of conventional printing. We invested heavliy in digital printing equipment and computers. We threw our selves into learning and mastering digital printing. At no time did we move away from our belief that customer service lies at the core of our success.

After years of printing for some of the biggest photographers in Hollywood, we moved into a larger location on Cahuenga, which made it possible to do our job so well that we recently expanded again. Our current spacious 7000 sq foot location allows us to expand into the HeadShot and Publicity printing business like never before.

We continue to work closely with our photographers and try and fill their needs in this ever changing digital world of photography.

We thank our customers for making us who we are. And promise to continue striving to maintain the same high quality and customer service we have become so famous for.

Located in the heart of the media district of Hollywood, California, Argentum was created by Ajay Jhaveri to fill a need in quality headshot reproductions. We pioneered the digital revolution. We constantly stay current of all the new technologies in order to provide you with state of the art service. When actors want great customer service, quality reproductions and repeatable service, there's only one lab that consistently exceeds expectations.

How have we maintained such a loyal customer base? Simply by maintaining the highest standards in customer service and by listening. We've even contributed to solving LA's traffic problem.. You can order from the comfort from your home and office and have everything shipped to you. Our online ordering is so seamless that we have many customers who order from out-of state making us not only the best headshot lab in Hollywood, but very possibly the best headshots in the USA!

We are the first lab to offer B/W and Color at the same price. Twice a year as a special thank you to our customers, we give a two for one special (usually in February, during pilot season, when you need pictures the most!) We love our customers and are willing to spend time with you, giving opinions and advice. Our roots are in traditional photography but we have an eye on the future of digital!

We respect our clients by not dropping names, but we can tell you the studios we have worked for. They are the best in the business. MTV, Paramount, Disney, Universal Studios, CBS, Laser Pacific, and Warner Brothers all turn to Argentum when the standards are high and there's no room for error!
