Who we are
The Exposure Bar NYC is an independent film lab and creative service platform rooted in Caribbean and Latinx culture. We specialize in 35mm film development, high-quality scans, and curated analog photography experiences. Operating without a storefront, we serve The Bronx and surrounding NYC neighborhoods—meeting our community through local drop-offs, mail-ins, and pop-up activations. Our focus is on making analog photography accessible to historically underrepresented and systemically oppressed artists.
Our Mission
We exist to preserve and celebrate analog photography through affordable film processing, culturally-rooted storytelling, and a commitment to creative community. Inspired by El Espíritu Caribeño, we’re building a space—online and in the streets—where emerging and seasoned artists, especially from The Bronx and other marginalized communities, can connect, create, and keep film alive.
