About us

RetroLab is an on-line print company that allows customers to present their Instagram imagery in a way that emulates analogue film 'contact sheets'.

The beauty of the contact sheet is in the functional, almost industrial-looking nature of the final print. Aspects of the physical film itself are visible: the sprocket holes and tiny imperfections; the frame numbering; the edge codes..ese are of course just purely mechanical features of analogue photographic film, but when combined with contemporary digital imagery, the distinction between modern and traditional technologies starts to disappear. So, we thought, “wouldn’t it be great if users of the world’s favourite photo sharing app could present their imagery in what we think is the most evocative and visually striking of ways!” Ladies and gentlemen: RetroLab!
