Marie-Lou from Zurich

About me I’m Marie-Lou and I'm currently doing my master's in biology in Zürich. I grew up in a small town in the French-speaking part of Switzerland, Neuchâtel. As much as I like it there I've also quite enjoyed living in Zürich since I moved here back in 2021. Besides my studies, I like to get creative by, for example, sewing, dancing, and much more!

Ars-imago Zurich

Paradise for film photography

"Here you can buy any type of film for any camera, papers of all sorts, develop your photographs or get all the chemicals and accessories needed to do so."

If you came to visit Zürich, I hope that you brought your camera with you to be able to capture every aspect of this beautiful city. If you did, and especially if you have a film camera, ars-imago is a place you might particularly enjoy. Those passionate about photography, beginners, and anybody interested in analog photography will enjoy this place.

They offer such a wide range of products that it might get overwhelming for people just starting in this world. However, the staff is very friendly and will always be happy to help you make the wise choice to achieve the best pictures of your holidays in Zürich. You will be able to buy any type of film for any camera, paper of all sorts, develop your photographs or get the chemicals and accessories needed to do so. They also have some photography books on display if you need inspiration.

Any creative mind should pass by! It is also very close to the main station and the vibrant neighborhood of Europaallee (make sure to check the article!), so nobody has an excuse not to pop by!
