These days, everyone can be a photographer. With an expensive digital camera and some good imaging software, even the most inartistic of us can take a fairly good photo and fix it up to look kinda’ professional. But what ever happened to old-fashioned film? You know, prints developed in a dark room with love and time? You can find this art alive and well at Burton Wells, a new photography studio at 372 Atlantic between Hoyt and Bond, which likens itself to the portrait-studio version of a boutique vinyl record store.
Run by two Carroll Gardens moms–Kate Burton (a family portrait and event photographer who has been featured in the NY Times, Time Out NY and New York) and business manager Katherine Wells (who has a day job as an online executive at Bravo)–you will find neither hide nor hair of digital cameras or computers in this space. Their standard sitting fee for a studio shoot is $350, but you can get 20% off for Father’s Day if you come in before 20 June.
