Our indispensable, behind-the-scenes partners: the Visa pour l'Image photo labs.

After earning a degree in manual photo retouching and spending 26 years working in some of Paris's leading laboratories (Central Color, Dupon, Initial Labo) learning various techniques for digitization, digital retouching, and pigment and piezographic printing, Aurélie Guillou decided to set up a small workshop where she could put all her expertise at the service of photographers, with a single point of contact.

Dupon has been a recognized leader in the world of image-making for over 50 years, combining traditional craftsmanship with the latest technologies to offer the best possible service.
Dupon's expertise in photography enables it to produce prints and frames for prestigious exhibitions, supporting artists in bringing their works to life.

E-Center is a pioneer in digital printing in France. It prints and finishes all types of communication materials, including corporate books, photography books, exhibition catalogs, press kits, invitations, lookbooks, booklets, and brochures. It also produces personalized boxes (standard and custom-made, printed or lined), and has a framing workshop (shadow boxes, mats, etc.). All this is conducted in accordance with its CSR policy, in a single location (Malakoff, 92).

Initial LABO is a major player in professional photo printing. Since 2018, it has evolved into a creative platform dedicated to photography. The Initial LABO concept is centered around a professional lab, a gallery, a bookstore, and a shop: photo and film printing and development, certified ID photos, standard and custom framing, cameras and accessories, and the MATTED PICTURES collection of photographs by photographers who work with Initial LABO printers on a daily basis.
