“I decided to build a camera-lab that would allow me—following in the footsteps of the traveling photographers of yesteryear—to take photos and develop them using film right inside the darkroom.

It’s an opportunity to talk about photography, about the passing of time—a brief pause for a photo…” Sylvain Combes
