Photosquat Minsk

Analog photography shop/community

""Photosquat" isn't just an analog photography shop & studio -- it's a whole community of knowledgable artists. They even have very nice events here..."

I like taking my analog camera with me when I'm walking in the city and taking pictures of my friends because printed pictures have a special vibe.

There are a few places where you can buy films for your camera, but this one is my favourite because it is not just a shop, it is a community where you can also buy cameras for your collection, films and much more.

So, if you are fan of analog photography or collecting old school cameras, this place is definitely worth visiting. You can buy film for your analog camera there and the assistants from the shop will help you insert it into the camera. It's also a great place to print your pictures because the people who work there are big fans of this kind of art!

From time to time they organize their own events: networking or educational, where you can meet new people or exchange knowledge.

One more option is to rent a studio there and hold your own event or photoshoot!
