The Challenge
Scott's Rochester Photo Supply supports camera repair, restoration, and film processing, work that shifts between precise seated tasks and standing jobs. The lab's fixed-height desks couldn't do both. Worse still, there were no designated workstations, so parts and tools ended up scattered across the room. As a result, technicians lost time searching for supplies and stepping away from their work to reach equipment.
The Solution
UPLIFT Desk outfitted five dedicated workstations built around repair, restoration, and lab work. Each one pairs a height-adjustable desk with seating and organization designed for the task, so technicians can switch between seated precision and standing jobs without leaving their station. Every tool and part now has a home within reach. Less searching and fewer trips across the room mean more time for the next job.
A new chapter for a Rochester staple
For more than 50 years, Scott's has been a hub for Rochester's photography community, offering film processing, printing, restoration, and camera sales under one roof. When Tatiana Ariola purchased the business in 2025, she inherited a proud legacy along with a lab that hadn't seen many updates in recent years.
Tatiana had trusted UPLIFT Desk for years before taking over Rochester Photo Supply. When it was time to overhaul the lab, her mandate was clear: build a dedicated, fully equipped workstation for every role.
"I can't thank UPLIFT Desk enough for making our lab space not only functional, but beautiful."
