Do people working in a lab look at the pics they develop?
 

Hi everybody.

Some years ago, when there were no digital cams, I took some pics of my wife totally naked (tits, bush and face of course). I told her I would make develop them in a place far from home. However I took them to the lab close to our home. I have always phantasized about the fact that the guys in the lab have seen the pics and so, have seen my wife totally naked, but I don't know exactly how it works.

Do you think it possible that they have seen my wife?

I have to say that we were very often to this lab in those days as we used to take lots of pics (normal pics I mean), so they knew who my wife was.

I think you can be pretty sure...
 

someone at the lab saw them!

yes , yes they check pics for quality of pics , you must of had pics with little stickers on them out of focus, over exposed etc ,

so yes its very common for them to get nudes after a bit they don't care,

A friend worked in a place and said they get lots, odd times they may make a copy but most of the time too much in a rush to get the work done,

He never showed me any photos so I would think no copies

yes they do
 

A long time ago I took a couple of rolls of 35 mm pictures of my wife and one of her black lovers. We took them to a photo shop on the South side of Dallas to get them developed. When I went back to get them the guy asked me if he could keep copies of the pics for his collection. He offered to the developed pictures for free if he could have the negatives. I agreed and we were both happy.

A long time ago
 

Back in the early 70s my GF agreed to my taking nude pictures of her (R rated) so long as I knew who was developing them and could trust that person. Well, I had a friend who worked at the photo desk of a drug store. I arranged to give the film to her and she would develop and print them when she was alone and no one was around to see them.

No problem she developed and printed them. Of course she examined them quite closely. When she gave them to me she said how attractive and sexy my GF was. And by the way I used to know her well having gone to school with her. She went on to tell me that there were a lot of R rated pictures dropped off for developing.

She said their policy was when nudity was observed to not print the pictures just give the developed film back to the customer. She also said she would get turned on by some of them and masturbate in the employee restroom. When she was giving my pictures back she showed me pictures her BF took of her nude that she also developed that day.

So yes the folks who developed the film back them looked at all the pictures nudity or not.

When my friend came home from Vietnam in the early 70s he had a lot of pictures of the Vietnamese women which he had taken.
He was dating a woman that worked in a photolab. She knew he was interested in naked women pics, so she made copies of any that came past her to give to Burnie, who then shared them with me. So I am sure that in those days they printed quite a few.
Then in the 90s I heard that Walgreens would print nude pictures so I approached a young guy that worked in the photo dept and asked him, and he verified that was true , so I started using Walgreens. I did make sure he was working each time I submitted an order. Those were mainly picture from shows like Nudes-a Poppin and Fantasyfest , so they weren't local women.

Oh Yeah
 

A friend of mine use to work at a photo developing store. He had 4 photo albums filled with pictures of totally naked ladies. He always liked when he would see some of the ladies in his album out it public. He said it was a blast to see the clothed version of the unaware ladies.

I have phantasized about it. Not only that the guy in lab saw my wife naked but also that he could have made a copy of the nude pics.

Developing beach holiday pics
 

I did a similar thing in the early 90's with my ex wife. On one holiday got her topless for the first time then accidentally found a nude beach where I got her to go in the sea topless then pulled her bikini bottoms off and took them back to our place on the beach forcing her to come out of the sea naked in front of everyone, none too pleased

However, I noticed she didn't put the bikini bottoms back on (I had covered them in sand) and she slowly got more comfortable. We went for a few walks down the beach and I took my camera to allow me to get many nude pictures

When we got home she asked me about developing and I convinced her it was all fully automated. However, I took them to a place I knew nearby which developed them on site, I guess the guy doing the developing got to see 40-50 pictures of my ex nude from the front and back

I just wish the fashion for bald pussies had been the thing of the day back then

When we split up a short while later, she took most of the pics with her, but did leave one topless one as a reminder which I scanned and can be seen here:

Yep, we look at them
 

I used to work in the photo lab of a Wal Mart. The rule there is that we will not hand out nude pictures. We developed all of the pictures and then looked them all over before putting them into the file cabinet to await the customer. I got to see many naked women and it was always a blast to have the woman in question standing next to the man who took the pics. I had to explain that we were not allowed to print nude photos and sometimes the woman would turn red knowing that I had seen her naked. All the nude prints went to the shreader but not before every guy in the department got a good look at the picture.

When I was in high school I worked for a photo finishing plant. We did all the drug store and department stores in the area, plus some of the photo studios and professional photographers. We weren’t allowed to process “pornographic” pictures (sex acts of any kind). How ever “tastefull” nudes or exposures were okay. Because the machines were all automatic - one bank of about 3-4 machines processed (developed) all the negatives were mounted on one big spool end to end and fed through another machine that processed all the positives (prints). The prints would come out on a big roll of paper (similar to the jumbo roll of toilet paper you see now in public washrooms). Because this was all automated “high tech” 40+ years ago the nudes and “porno” were all processed but were removed before the negatives and prints were sorted into the customers envelopes. I ran the machines that processed the big rolls of prints and, of course, I watched a lot of the prints come through because I had to be near by to splice the next roll of prints to the of the last roll of prints coming out of the developer.
For a high school student I saw ALOT naked people. I remember the first time I saw a woman masterbating with a coke bottle. I was shocked. It made an impression on me as I still remember to this day.
So to answer the op’s question yes several people would have seen the pictures we couldn’t release to the customer and yes the good ones had a spot on a wall in one of the dark rooms.

The answer is of course yes! They check for quality. I remember when I sent nudes of my first wife off for printing when the came back I said “I bet the guys in the photo lab have copies of these” she was mortified 😄😄😄 they were full nude but quite tame. I also remember looking through the window of a 24 hr photoshop you could see reels of pics. I saw some topless ones😛

photos
 

Before digitals I always took a nude photo 35mm negative strip to the one hour photo mostly a nude in the pool photo or sun bathing on the deck,back then there were always 2 or 3 photo stores in the big mall so I would look for a teenaged kid working or an elderly guy,I would say that I want 2 of each made and that they are of my wife in the pool nude and they would always say no problem,whenI would come back I would say how did you make out with them,then I would open up the envelope and look and lay them out,but one time this personaround 20-25 years old zit faced,I asked for one 8 by 10" photo of my wife jumping out of the pool topless,when I went back there were tow photos of her hanging up drying in plain view behind the counter,I said I only wanted one,he said one diidn't come out good so he made two,,I got them both for the price of one,he was pissed cause one was his....

I used a website to print off some pictures of me and my ex as a present, they were all normal photos of us together, aside from one which was topless. When they arrive, there was a proof/index photo. It had smaller versions of all the photos, with the exception of one bigger one, wihch of course was the topless one. I have no doubt whoever was dealing with the print, thought it would be amusing to have that one as the larger photo on the index card. It was in the middle of them, so unless it was chosen at random, it wouldn't have been the first/last.

About 20 years ago had a friend who work at a camera shop with photo developing in a tourist town(Marco Island) in Florida. Worked in the same strip mall and would stop by and go thru the new additions to his collection of nudes. Being a vacation destination I think alot of people had them develop there rather than taking them home and having it done, were new additions almost daily

I've shared this story before, but many years ago a friend of mine used to tell me about how he took sexual pictures of his wife. I never saw them, even though I think he "accidentally" included one in a group of pics he showed me, but he recovered too quickly and grabbed the pic from me before I got a good look at it. I think he wanted me to see it.
Anyway, he told me where he took his film to be developed, and that there was a girl that both he and his wife went to school with that worked there. On one occasion when there were some x-rated pics of his wife on the film, the girl that worked at the lab commented on some of the other pics on the roll, discreetly letting him know that she'd seen the x-rated ones as well.

I too have shared this before but while my wife and I were dating we both worked at a grocery store. She worked in the 1 hour photo lab in the store. And this is the reason it was so hard to get her to pose for pictures. She knew other people would see the photos because she saw plenty of nudes doing her job. lol

The first sexy pictures she let me take were on our honeymoon and when we got home she made us take the pictures to the other side of town to lessen the risk of anyone knowing us.

Not directly related....
 

Going back a while now, I took a holiday to tenerife with my then girlfriend, she was 18 and I 20 - it was the first "couple" holiday for both of us and she ended up going topless on the beach. I got a few snaps of her sitting there topless.

Of course this was pre phone and pre digital camera so when we got back we had to take the roll of film to be developed, we were both pretty embarrassed collecting it but dont lnow if anyone looked at them.

Anyway - fast forward 2 years and we broke up - I ended up with a couple of boxes of our stuff that she didn't want which included all the photos I took. I didnt look at them for a while and then one day decided I wanted to remind myself of those titties as it where, so I dug out the packet - went through to find them and realised she had taken them out !

Gutted.

Anyway, fast forward another 6 months and it comes to my attention that you can get copies of pictures from the negatives- for whatever reason I just did not know this. She obviously didnt either as bingo - when I held them up to the light I could see the missing pictures !

With zero shame and just a massive desire to see them titties I took just the strip or 2 I wanted to the local place and got copies made.

I still enjoy looking at them from time to time, although now they are scanned and stored in the cloud !!

This happened to my wife. She was dating a guy before me and let him take photos of her, mostly topless or ass shots, but with some explicit ones, according to her.

Anyway when they broke up she got the photos and destroyed them. Years later we were discussing this and I asked if she got the negatives. Apparently she didn’t understand either as she did not.

No idea if the ex made more copies, destroyed them, or what happened. Would have loved to seen them though.

solid answer to your question
 

Not that long ago, a gf and I were at a frat party... and over the course of the evening and lots of drinking... a lot of us ended up in the pool... a lot of bathing suits went south. I was taking pictures, and my gf ended up in the buff much to the delight of the greeks.

A few days later, ppl were wanting to see the pictures, I didnt want to have them on my phone or trust them to email, so I decided to have them printed out. I went to the local FoxFoto, near my home and decided to use their 1 hour service and wait for them. The girl who helped me said they were running behind and that she would charge the regular rate rather than the 1 hr rate, but it would take about 30 mins longer... I didnt want to wait 90 mins in a plastic chair, so I went and got a sandwich and came back about 75 mins later.

When I returned, there was a guy about 40 something staring at something in the window from out side. He saw me walking up and took off. I walked over to the window to see what he was looking at and Wow, here were all the pics of the party dropping off the conveyor of the printer into a bin. Im sure he got an eye full. But the journey continues. I go inside and ask if my prints are ready. Two girls working the shop, both around my age. (22) The one at the counter goes over to see if they have been sleeved and ready. She looks back at me and sees the top photo and says "No wonder you were in a hurry to see them", with a big smirk on her face. The one working the machine, tells the other girl... "Have a look at them" OMG!! So she spreads several of 20 prints on the counter. So the one working the machine comes to the counter. She says.."Those are acutally pretty tame. We get much worse." Then the older guy comes back and into the shop, and the prints are all over the counter. No doubt he got a better look.

So after he left they wanted to know the story of how I got them. I gave a brief tale. Then the first girl asked if she could make a copy of them for her brother. What was this place? lol I obviously said no. But I wonder if there may indeed be other copies they made in my absence. But like you Guys, it was a royal turn on to know that she was being seen by strangers .. seeing the intensity of that guy staring at the pics through the window was wild.. I let only a handful of people see them, it was no where near as hot as all that happened at the shop... thanks for an exciting day FoxFoto lol

Of course
 

I used Polaroid camera to start with like all is old guys, then bought a old zenith I still got lol,anyway Amanda posed
For me with it then I thought bugger what do I do now lol.
Anyway I found this little camera shop back street type had a word with old Tommy who ran it, explained thing's
And he said no probs be would develop them, dirty old sod lol.
He looked at them and made copies and showed his customers,, and do you know what I loved it.
I had found out she modelled for some guys to earn money when we first got together and I had a instant hard on
Those dirty old dogs taking pictures of my young wife.
I've always believed old men in charge of young women really works they just do more for them and I don't mean really young either 18 plus
What you guys think

Could you post a copy of them here, uh, for my brother?

Interesting…I used to take lots of pictures at Mardi Gras, motorcycle rallies etc. All had nudity in them, including many I took of my wife. I used to take them to Sam’s Club and drop them off to be developed. They always printed whatever I turned in, even actual intercourse or blow jobs. I quit when someone showed my some of the pictures I took of my wife naked. They were on a website but I wasn’t the one who sent them in.

Fotomat
 

A buddy worked in the lab for Fotomat, one of those standalone small buildings in the middle of a parking lot.
When they processed racy photos, 5 extra copies were made. 1 for the foreman, one for the shop steward, one for ‘The Book’ and 1 each for the guys doing the processing.

I had a friend in high school in the early 2000s who had a weird, crazy uncle. He worked at one of those one-hour photo businesses throughout the 1990s. He had 5 or 6 completely filled photo albums of random wives in their bra, panties or nude. This was after the internet had become popular, but not like it is today and before amateur porn was really a thing on the internet. It was an incredible thing to see in the early 2000s. Just a ton of random 90s moms in their underwear and lingerie.

Know they do
 

I've shared this before, some time ago.

I sent a roll of color film to be processed at a drug store. I was anxious to see the prints because I had shot about 15 of the 24 of my wife partially to full naked. When the prints came back, I had my negatives in the envelope but someone else's pictures.

I went back and explained this to the guy at the photo counter. He said that happens sometimes and said he would send them back and they would print my photos.

When I got my photos, on the envelope where it said # of prints there was a "3" marked. I got 3 of each non nude print and 1 of each of the prints of my wife naked.

Someone got my original prints, I bet they were surprised. The reprints someone got 2 sets of all my naked wife photos. They showed several topless with her in small panties and several full frontal pussy exposed.

Several times when I sent my film to an "adult" film processor, I would get extra prints of some shots, always the full frontal naked wife or with her sucking my or my buddy's dick. I often wondered how many photos of my wife went into private scrapbooks.

When I was a teenager (mid 90's) I worked in a one hour photo booth. It was in a new supermarket, so the photo lab was brand new. I was told by my boss (she had worked a few years at an established store) that any juicy pictures were to be added to "the album". Basically, every photo we produced was checked by us to make sure there were no flaws in the print. So, yes, every picture was seen by us.

By the time I moved on after a few months, the album had maybe 60 - 80 duplicate pictures of boobs, or sex acts. Typically those pictures were either blurry, or otherwise low quality. We had pics of girls in the shower, excellent ENF situations on the toilet, cleavage etc.. The most memorable were a series of three pictures showing a pizza in a box, then a slice of that pizza being dipped in a gal's hairy box, and then a grinning fellow eating that piece of pizza.

One afternoon, a regional supervisor for the grocery chain visited the store to check on the start up. I was surprised when he came into the photo lab because we were usually under the radar of the grocery side. He asked me sternly if we were keeping an album (which for obvious reasons we should not have been). I expected to get fired on the spot. Instead, when I handed him the album, he grinned and flipped through it. One of the perks of management.

In hindsight, this may explain why I am a big fans of nude selfies from the wife, or when my wife sends me sexy pics she has gotten from her friends. Can't beat a picture of married titties when the context is fun and teasing.

We started Swinging and we took pics to give to couples as as a way of thank you and that of them showing to others so we could met more lol, standard nudes of her and us, her sucking my cock and sex pics, we took them I.n to get multiplies made, and when she went to pick them up, the guy smiled and said she was hot and he. would love to take real professional pics. she smiled and he aid I have added sum pics to help you make ur mind up. She thanked him and she got to the door as other people and looked. he had 5 nudes of him, his cock was soft in one and hard in the rest and the 5. was his load on her pic of her spread open on her back.

She turned as he was serving and smiled she never told me till a few months later

I posted in another thread about a former girlfriend and her sister who used to take nude pictures. They were very young, between 18-20 yr-old. There were about a dozen printed photos of them topless, and in one of them, her sister featured full frontal nudity: large tits and hairy pussy. I saw this one secretly. She also said they took these pictures “just for fun”. She added that the guy at the photo development store who delivered all those photos had a cheeky look in his face. I started to envy him; I can’t imagine how many women he saw naked because they took nude pictures “just for fun”.

The store in the Mall got evetrybody to see them!
 

We had a few film developing places that were in a Mall, but the line of pictures that came out of the machine ran in front of a huge plate glass window for the store so anybody walking or standing in front of the glass could see and look as All the pics that the machine was developing!
Then when there was a huge collection of people looking into the store, the person running the machine would take an extra look at the pictures before packing them away!
So whoever ran the machine got to look at them a few times and maybe got to make a few extra copies before they were put away!
Even today with taking the cards in to have copy's made or larger prints, the worker in the store does look at the slide card that is entered into the machine and the pics after their done!
We always took a chance having pics printed out, hoping they'll pass the Test and not be kept for say as safe keeping! lol
;)

In my case, the answer to the question/title of the thread is YES.
I often print a selection of the photos taken with the current digital cameras.
I go to a small shop close to my house. The owner ia a 40-year old man, an amateur photographer. I take a pen drive with the photos, he copies the files on a local PC than he sends the files to a remote lab and after a few days I get the printed photos in the shop.
The shop has only a few customers, (one per hour?), now I am a regular customer and I am familiar with the owner and often we discuss about cameras, lenses, Sw etc.
The first time during the copy from the pen drive we saw the thumbnails on the PC, the guy commented "what is this place?" I answered, Now I do not remember but it was a holiday. Then anytime I bring some photos he always tells me "you always make nice photos of nice places".
I am aware that the guy has copies of my photo on his computer, they are mostly holiday pictures, often in summer with several images of my wife in bikini or skimpy dresses.
My wife is a prude, no nude or sexy pictures. Nevertheless now that I know the the guy looks at the pictures I try to steal some candid sexy pictures of my wife and to include them in the selection.
I am not talking about hard core but in the latest sets of pictures the guy got some upskirts, see-through with lingerie and a see-through with nipple view not explicit but requiring a few basic editing with contrast and brightness (the guy ia an expert photo editor).

Years ago I worked in a large retail store located in a mall in Wisconsin. We offered a photo developing service that you dropped your film off and picked up the pictures a couple days later. Looking at people's pictures, especially to pass time when the store wasn't busy, was fairly common. I probably saw more teenage girls smoking pot than skin but, yes, we looked at people's pictures.

Years later I toured a photo developing lab as part of a photography class I was taking. They pretty much admitted the developing techs became pretty good at spotting "skin tones" and stopping the line for a closer look.

Self service digital
 

As others have explained, quality control and customer service dictate that prints from negatives would probably be eyballed by a human. That's before you get to local laws and company policy regarding "decency". A company with a "puritanical" approach will check as a matter of policy. A company with a "permissive" approach is more likely to tempt (latent) voyeur staff.

I was told by a branch manager of a UK photo chain that it was company policy to check images on self-service digital photo print machines machines, so the company would not be guilty of contravening the properly punitive laws on storing, distributing and making child abuse images. Their self-service terminals printed the pictures behind the counter.

She said that although her branch had not intercepted child abuse images, she was regularly shocked by what people photographed themselves legally doing...

I imagine that self-service machines must store (even in a \temp folder) anything which is printed. The contents of the \temp folder might be overwritten when full. Anyone with sufficient access could, in principle, view and copy selected files. I assume this is where the photobooth pictures (in other threads) come from.

If you were in charge of one of these machines wouldn't you be tempted to check and copy a few?

Years ago, before digital cameras, I would take topless and some nude pics of my now ex-wife. I used a local privately owned place to develop them. After the first or second set of photos, the guy always seemed happy to see me when I dropped off film. One day, my wife and I were out so I stopped by so we could pick up some photos. I asked her to go in because I "had to make a call". There were no nudes in that set and she didn't know that he had seen her naked.

I've developed a few nudes of girl friends back towards the "end" of film and the beginning of digital, and they said nothing about it when I collected them. Nothing too hardcore, but lots of topless and some nude shots, posed and candid. I'd also go to a different store each time. It was mostly older guys working at the stores I went too.

In high school I had a few friends who worked at a busy print store and they sometimes came across a few nudes and sex shots. They were told that if they then one of the senior guys must take over, which they did, but after going through them first ofcourse, which I'm sure is always the case. They never made copies of anything though.

I've had a few rolls of film with some nudes come out blank a couple times. Which was a little disappointing and suspicious. I've always wondered how much those guys got to see in the heyday of film. I also used to stand and watch those ones with a public reel showing the prints, but never saw anything.

I’m sure he kept a few
 

A few years after we were married my wife and I went to a couples resort in the Poconos. The ones that had the champagne glass style hot tub in the rooms. Anyway, this was a few years before digital cameras (late ‘80’s), so it was polaroids or take a chance with a local photo shop if you wanted nude pictures. It was also when some labs wouldn’t print nude photos (I imagine they kept a copy depending who was developing at the time?).

At a couple of the shows the M.C. mentioned they had staff photographers who could take intimate pictures in your rooms that you couldn’t get developed “back home” or wouldn’t want the local guy seeing. My wife was not as open as she is now with being seen so I thought no chance.

When I suggested the third or fourth time she consented. We made an appointment and the guy showed up at our room. Started with a few soft core shots; poses of her naked, poses together, and he suggested we probably wanted hardcore but were afraid to ask. He was right. So he took more pictures of us doing oral, and intercourse in different positions. She was super turned on during it - she’s a bit of an exhibitionist I learned later but it needs to be pulled out.

We picked up our pictures the next day at the office. They did a pretty good business with the pictures, that’s for sure. Even though they gave you the negatives for the pictures, I’m sure they may have kept copies of ones they liked. I’m not going to suggest of all the sex pictures they took, ours were worthy of keeping, but I’d like to think they kept a couple. I wonder what happened when the photographer left, or when the hotel closed a number of years later.

I keep hoping to see “us” show up on some vintage site, LOL.

Funny you should mention that place...

When my (now ex)wife and I got married back in the '80's, we had decided on that place for our honeymoon. Unfortunately, we heard a rumor just before our scheduled trip. I don't remember if I heard it on the news or somewhere else but the story I got was as follows:

A couple enjoyed their honeymoon at that place and made liberal use of the champagne glass hot tub, along with many other items of furniture to do what newlyweds are known to do and in the end, were very happy with the experience. So happy in fact, that they decided to go back there for an anniversary trip.
On their second trip there, they decided to rent one of the many X-rated VCR tapes the resort had available. Unfortunately for them (and resort management), the video they rented featured themselves from their honeymoon! It seemed that hidden cameras had been placed in their room and had captured their various trysts. The couple were upset at the invasion of their privacy and so the sh*t hit the fan.

I have no idea if the story was true or not, but your story may lend credence to the story I heard. I know that the story we heard was enough to make my bride slam on the brakes, grab the steering wheel and steer our thoughts to another location. We ended up heading to Key West.

Key West is obviously safe.....right?
 

You are so lucky that you skipped your original destination and went to Key West. Nothing that happens in Key West ever turns up on video, right?

Not from hidden cameras placed in your room where you expect privacy.

Yeah, funny you mentioned that. I heard some stories/rumors/urban legends about that happening at different hotels. I don’t know if it really happened or not. I wouldn’t rule it out, but it also seems pretty improbable that the one tape they rented had them in it from years past.

I would be upset at invasion of privacy, but also turned in that others had seen us having sex and used it to masturbate or have sex. In an odd way, it’s quite an affirmation that you excite others sexually. Lawsuit over it, for sure.

I guess you never know I there are cameras these days. Unscrupulous cleaning staff could hide something in a room pretty easy. I do know that “hotel sex” is definitely something we step it up a level.

Edit: I heard the rumors/stories about that long after we went to the resort. If we heard it prior, my wife would have definitely suggested somewhere else. Like I said, she’s got s bit of exhibitionist in her now, but she would want to know who is watching her/us and the situation. That wouldn’t have been something she would have approved.
