A latent image is the invisible image held in a film’s emulsion after exposure, before development. The photograph already exists the moment you press the shutter. It simply hasn’t appeared yet. Latent is a camera for creating your own film looks, and a darkroom you can take anywhere. Choose a look, preview it live, and take the shot. Afterwards, return to the preserved original: try another film, adjust the exposure, and develop it again. From everyday snapshots to thoughtful color work…
