ABOUT US

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

FILM IS HERE TO STAY.

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 also as a philosophy.

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.

MOVING OUT

In April, after a memorable year at the 104factory, we bid farewell to the incubator and moved to a more permanent space.

We slowly eased into our new home and took the time to craft every detail to provide the local analog community with the best shopping experience.

MEET THE TEAM

Mathis Clamens

The Analog Club is the brainchild of Mathis. In 2016, after receiving an old Canon AE-1 from his father and getting hooked, he created the Club to spread his love for the analog medium far and wide, and foster a community of film photographers.

Léopold Fulconis

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.

Lou Sellem

Ever since she was a little girl, Lou has had a camera (or a book) in her hands. She got into analog photography when she was gifted a Pentax MX on her 18th birthday. She joined the team to help with our communication and editorial efforts.

Choucri Bechir

Choucri is a self-taught photographer and software developer. His journey with photography started in 2009 and quickly evolved into an obsession that is central to how he engages with the world today. He joined to the team to help with the tech, curation and product development.

While searching through family belongings, Anna found an Olympus MJU II. She hasn't stopped using her mom's old camera ever since. Drawn to vintage aesthetics and analog processes, she's passionate about art and works as a graphic designer on the artistic direction of the Club.
