​What is photo retro?
Photo Retro began as the retail footprint of Pictoriographica LLC a manufacturer of photographic dry plates and dry plate accessories for photographers around the world.  Opening on November 5, 2021, Photo Retro soon became popular with film photographers as the place to go for fresh film, photo paper, darkrooms, advice, assistance and camaraderie. Founder Jason Lane sold the business to Bob McElroy in June 2022 and Photo Retro LLC, A Veteran-Owned Business, was born.

Our retail space features two darkrooms, a photo studio and a small retail store in  front.  The goal of Photo Retro LLC is to become a hub of traditional analog photography in Southern New Hampshire, a destination for those photographers who want to practice and master the ancient art of capturing images on film.
