Elevate 2026: The Analogue Edition – 1-Day Conference

Tuesday – 22nd September 2026

London: Electric Cinema, 191 Portobello Rd, London W11 2ED

A focused, intimate day for photographers drawn to film, craft, and a slower way of seeing.

The Analogue Edition is a new chapter for Elevate. A one-day gathering built around the beauty of imperfection, the discipline of shooting with intention, and the tactile nature of photography in its purest form.

This isn’t about volume or speed. It’s about process, restraint, and the quiet confidence that comes from trusting your eye.

On 22nd September, we bring together 5 speakers who live and breathe analogue approaches, each offering their own perspective on creativity, storytelling, and building meaningful work in a digital world.

✨ 5 carefully curated speakers sharing their approach to film, creativity, and craft
📸 Honest conversations around process, mistakes, and creative evolution
🎓 Insight into working with film in both personal and professional practice
🎤 Open discussions designed to go deeper, not wider
🤝 A smaller, like-minded room of photographers
🎁 Thoughtful details that reflect the tone and pace of the day
Whether you already shoot film or feel drawn to it, this is a space to reconnect with why you picked up a camera in the first place.

A day to slow down.
A day to see differently.
A day to return to the craft.
