The “Mid-South Technique” mounts photographic prints to the canvas in a way that produces the most even and pronounced canvas texture. This is what makes our hand-stripped canvas prints stand apart.

We have been closed since Monday due to winter weather. Our roads here are iced over since Saturday. Even FedEx is not taking deliveries. We're not sure when we'll reopen, but we'll keep you posted.

Remembering our founder and friend, Brooks Clayton (March 27, 1943 – October 7, 2025).

Brooks was the proud owner of Mid-South Color Labs in Jackson, TN, which he led for over 40 years with dedication and care. His leadership and vision shaped the company into both a trusted name and a close-knit workplace family. Under his guidance, Mid-South Color Labs provides professional photographic finishing services that reach far beyond West Tennessee. He and his team create works of art that garner respect from clients across the US and beyond. In true Brooks spirit, he continued to lead the company full time up until the time of his death.
