About Us

We would first like to thank all of our amazing friends, family, and supporters who have shown us nothing but love and respect in the First year of establishing Dos Fotos. Our goal with Dos fotos is to be accessible for everyone and anyone who wants to enjoy capturing moments on film. The resurgence of film has been a beautiful thing to see come alive in all its forms! We want to contribute to this movement by ensuring quality work, fair pricing, and building up our Chicago analog community. -

To send you back your negatives :)
We will eventually offer a once a month development service for slide film- but at the moment we are not.
No. Unfortunately, we just do not have that kind of time. It would be really unfair to us if suddenly most customers wanted this same service because we wouldn’t be able to fulfil so many meet ups. We are a two-person operation while still maintaining full time jobs, and a family :)
