Join Franklin Foto for a series of amazing pop-ups throughout the day on October 17th!

Here’s what to look forward to on October 17th:

• Photo walk in historic st. John’s

  • Join the Franklin Foto crew for a photo walk in the beautiful St. Johns neighborhoods through mid-October foliage! Loaner cameras available, or just bring your phone!

• Polaroid transfer workshop

  • In this class we will be removing the photo emulsion from Polaroid film and transferring it to paper. This transfer process allows us to work hands on with our photograph and play with how the image can exist as a physical object.

• Cyanotype or Lumen printing

  • Using the sunshine (or UV rays), you’ll use plant matter or found objects to create unique prints on cyanotype paper.

Franklin Foto was established in Portland, Oregon, to address the growing need for accessible, community-driven spaces within the city's thriving film photography culture. While Portland has long been home to a dedicated community of analog enthusiasts, opportunities for collaboration and access to working darkrooms have remained limited. Franklin Foto seeks to fill this gap by offering a fully equipped, inclusive space where photographers of all skill levels can develop their craft, share knowledge, and connect over their love for film.

Franklin Foto is a membership-based studio and has availability if you’re itching to take some photos!
