On Friday May 22nd at 6PM experience the "alchemy" of analog color. We are hosting a limited portrait session featuring the RA-4 Reversal process—a rare technique that skips the film negative entirely to create a one-of-a-kind color photograph directly onto light-sensitive paper.
This isn’t your standard digital photoshoot. You’ll sit for a portrait, then head into the back to watch the chemical magic happen. You’ll see your image emerge in real-time as we walk you through the science of reversal processing. Joe will also be explaining his journey to dial in this process.
Each $60 session includes:
The Original: One unique 8×10 inch RA-4 color reversal print to take home.
The Digital: A high-resolution scan of your portrait (perfect for social media).
The Education: A front-row seat to the development process.
The Social: We’ll have snacks and drinks ready, and you are welcome to BYOB!
RA-4 reversal is known for its beautiful, saturated tones and unique, punchy contrast. To get the absolute best results, we recommend wearing bright, solid colors.
Do: Solid reds, vibrant blues, and bold yellows (these look electric!).
Avoid: Busy patterns or dark, muddy tones, which can get lost in the high-contrast nature of the process.
Cost: $60 per person
Availability: Limited to 6 participants for this first time.
The Result: An instant heirloom and a digital copy for your phone.
In a world of infinite digital copies, you are walking away with a Physical Original. There is no negative—the piece of paper you hold is the exact same piece of paper that was inside the camera at the moment of exposure. It’s as authentic as photography gets.
The Photographer: Joe Dagostino is a fine art film photographer and traditional photographic print maker. Shooting a medium format film camera, he utilizes both color and black and white film. Joe develops his own film and creates all prints in the darkroom. In a digital world, Joe continues to create his works of art in a disappearing format.
