Code 4361 applies to employers engaged in photography, videography and microfilming; film developing, finishing and printing; photo finishing and development; restoring and retouching photographs; photo color separations and other similar operations.  The employer, using various types of cameras, will take photographs including portrait type.  They are also contacted by customers to take photographs or video of their special events such as weddings or other occasions.  In many cases, the used film is developed at the employer’s premises or it may be sent out to others for processing.

Photo development establishments that develop pictures, including one-hour photoshops, are also included under the scope of this classification.  Customers drop off their exposed rolls of film, negatives or memory cards and are given an approximate time to return to pick up their photos.  Some film developing establishments may pick up exposed film from drop-off facilities such as those located in retail stores.  Film is tagged, developed and then printed into pictures.  The pictures are then inspected and packed into envelopes for return to the customers.  The incidental sale of film, picture frames and photo albums are inclusive under this classification when these types of establishments sell these items as an accommodation to their customers.

Manufacturing printing plates such as embossing, linotype and offset thin gauge aluminum is inclusive under this classification.
