297: Dirk Witt: The Power of Partnering with Your Photo Lab!


Listen Later

Hey, photography friends! Ever thought about how much your photo lab impacts your business? This week, I chat with Dirk Witt from Mid South Color Lab, and he’s breaking down why not all labs are created equal—and why choosing the right one is a game-changer for your success. But not only how to select the right companies but why making them a partner, having them on your team, is a key to success.

Dirk isn’t just a lab expert—he’s been in your shoes! With years as a wedding, family, and senior photographer, plus 17 years on staff at Mid South Color Lab, he knows firsthand the challenges of switching labs and maintaining top-tier print quality. His mission? Make your transition to a pro lab effortless so you can focus on what you do best—creating stunning images.


Key Takeaways:

  • Not all labs are the same—Find one that matches your brand and quality standards.
  • Choosing the cheapest is not usually the wisest decision.
  • Luxury business? Luxury lab. High-end clients expect high-end prints, framing, and albums.
  • Your lab is more than just prints—The right lab helps you grow, supports your workflow, and adds value to your business.
  • Quality sells! Use top-tier products as a selling point to boost client satisfaction (and your profits).
  • Your photo lab isn't just a vendor—it’s a partner in your business. Whether it’s prints, albums, or framing, finding the services that.


Match your business and cheer on your success is a vital tool for the profitable photographer.
