Contemporary analogue photography refers to the field of photographic practice that uses traditional chemical processes within the context of current artistic creation.

Although digital photography has become predominant over recent decades, many artists have continued to work with photographic film and with alternative or historical processes, such as wet plate collodion.

These techniques offer specific material and aesthetic qualities that cannot be reproduced through digital processes. For this reason, many contemporary artists have revived or reinterpreted these procedures as part of their creative language.

Contemporary analogue photography is not simply a continuation of traditional photography, but rather a space for experimentation where historical techniques are combined with current artistic practices.

Festivals, laboratories and communities of photographers around the world have contributed to revitalising this field, creating an international network dedicated to exploring chemical and handcrafted photographic processes.

The Revela’t Festival is part of this cultural ecosystem and provides a platform where artists and audiences can discover and share projects that use analogue photography as a contemporary means of expression.
