afghan box’s workshop – with the Labo 148
Come and have your portrait! Traditionally used by street photographers to take passport photos for their clients, the afghan box is a light-tight wooden box that combines camera and darkroom. As a counterpoint to the ultra-modernity of digital photography, the Institut pour la photographie invites you to experience photography in a different way!
