Why do you choose to work with Lomography?

We chose to work with Lomography at a time when the supply of films in France was really low and our customers were struggling to find supplies at a good price. We were intrigued by their products that are a good match with our brand.

What is your favorite Lomography product and why?

For us, it's the Lomochrome Metropolis. It's a perfect mix of vintage results and new artistic waves.

Are you doing any creative projects right now for the shop or personally? Please tell us more about them.

Yes, we launched our own 35 mm films, our pin badges, and other Marinette products.

What does the future of analogue photography look like to you? How will this impact your store in the next ten years?

Consumer demand is on the rise and the global interest in film has never been that high for many years, but a lot depends on the manufacturers. Their production capacity and prices are crucial to the expansion and future life of the film industry. So that's why we are always looking for specialty film, expired films, and other film photography-related products. We expect that the film industry will continue to grow steadily with us.

What hardship did your shop/lab have to face during the lockdowns and what kept you going through these trying times?

Our website was already running well before CoVid hit. With the lockdowns, the traffic on our e-shop skyrocketed. We are lucky to see our brand grow every month.
