🗽One year on East 1st Street.

Twelve months ago we opened the door, and you walked right in. Since then: photo journaling nights, coffee mornings, a photobook launch or two (and a magazine s/o Born Rival), and miles and miles of film. Enough, it turns out, to loop Central Park.

Thank you to everyone who’s made our new location thirve. To our clients, our community, our collaborators, and to New York: you made year one come to life.

And to our crew, thank you for running Gelatin Labs every single day.

And year two? We kick things off on Saturday, August 8, with a full day at the shop — with a very special guest, Alex Kittoe. Save the date and follow along, more info to come.
