ABOUT US

The Analog Club is a camera shop, gallery and community dedicated to celebrating the poetry of analog photography.

Beyond mere artistry

Whether it's giving a second life to vintage cameras, reviving the intimate experience of holding prints, being intentional when framing a shot or cherishing the slow nature and craftmanship of analog processes, we deeply believe in the importance and relevance of this medium.

Not just as an art form but as a philosophy too.

We want to encourage more people to explore this world, and support them along the way.


How it all started.

OUR STORY

Mexico, The beginning

After landing in Mexico with his father's Canon AE-1 for a 2-week trip, and falling in love with film photography, Mathis decided to create an Instagram page to share one inspiring picture by an analog photographer every single day.

The Analog Gallery

At the end of 2022, we launched The Analog Gallery to showcase the work of film photographers through immersive exhibitions blending images and sound.

Step by step, film photography is changing Léopold's life. After shooting film and collecting vintage cameras for years, he decided to quit his job and join Mathis in this adventure. He is now overseeing the development of the Club through various projects.
