About
A living archive,
born from analog film.
Every roll of film is a document. Not just of what was photographed, but of how it was seen — the lab that processed it, the stock it was shot on, the time and place it captured. Most of those documents never leave a hard drive.
archivooo exists to change that. We connect film labs directly with the photographers they serve, giving every scan a permanent home and a path to an audience.
Labs upload their work. Photographers curate their frames, set their prices, and decide what gets published. Collectors and print-buyers can license images for personal or commercial use — and every sale goes back to the people who made it.
How it works
Labs upload scans
Film labs upload processed scans in batches, tagged to a photographer's email. Each image is processed into three variants: a protected display version, a watermarked thumbnail, and a full-resolution original held in secure storage.
Photographers curate
Photographers review their batch, accept or reject consent, and add metadata — title, film stock, date, location, tags, and pricing. Publishing happens when a title and price are set.
The archive grows
Published images enter the archive — searchable by film stock, decade, location, and color palette. Buyers license images for personal prints, commercial use, or collector editions.
Revenue is shared
Every sale is split: 10% to the photographer, 10% to the lab that processed the film, 80% to archivooo to keep the archive running.
archivooo is in active development. If you're a film lab or photographer interested in joining, get in touch.
