What?
Who?
My name is Renee Paiement, and I’m an analog artist and portrait photographer based in Minneapolis. I founded Minnow Gallery LLC in December 2025.
Im my eyes, film is much more than a preference. An analog photograph has a life cycle that mirrors the unfolding of the natural world. The moment it is exposed to light- that’s inception. Through chemical processing, it develops and transforms. And finally, during printing, the image appears and is fixed forever - the birth of a photo.
Contrary to the rhythm of our distracted rushing world, analog processes ask us to slow down and move with intention and curiosity.
