\"A<\/a>Photodom\u2019s new Brooklyn location is a step above its previous premises. <\/p>\n

A popular film photography store in New York that sometimes has huge lines snaking outside of it has moved to a far more visible location. <\/p>\n

Photodom<\/a> was previously housed in an old, back-alley Bushwick building on the third floor. It meant that customers wanting to visit the 400-square-foot shop had to walk up three flights of stairs. <\/p>\n

But the new \u201cbigger and better\u201d flagship store has moved to a much more conspicuous location on nearby Broadway that has a street-level storefront and larger square footage. <\/p>\n

\u201cSo far it\u2019s been such a great change for us, from being on the 3rd floor of a walk-up for almost 5 years,\u201d founder Dominick Lewis tells PetaPixel. \u201cOur staff loves it, our customers love it, and we\u2019re getting a lot of great foot traffic because we\u2019re located right off of a train stop.\u201d<\/p>\n

Photodom is best-known for its film services, with customers being able to buy second-hand analog cameras and the team offering film processing; 120, 35mm, and APS. However, it also sells merchandise, accessories, and clothing, as well as putting on regular workshops, including courses on how to develop film and photo critique sessions. <\/p>\n

In a recent YouTube video<\/a>, Lewis gave a tour of the new film laboratory on Broadway, which includes a Noritsu V5, which can process 50 C-41 rolls of film per hour. The shop also has a \u201cunicorn\u201d Noritsu V30P B&W, which was converted from a traditional C-41 processing machine. <\/p>\n

Lewis tells Hyperallergic<\/a> that Photodom began life in 2020 after he raised more than $35,000 on GoFundMe to bring his dream of an analog store to life. No doubt helped by the recent resurgence of film photography \u2014 which has led to manufacturers making brand new film cameras<\/a> \u2014 Photodom has gone from strength to strength. <\/p>\n

Back in 2023, the store went viral after a TikTok video showed huge lines snaking out of the door<\/a> and down the alleyway as over 2,000 people waited for a chance to snap up an analog camera for as cheap as $5. <\/p>\n

Photodom\u2019s new address is 1717 Broadway. Check out their Instagram<\/a> <\/p>\n
