Where the Past Develops Into the Present.

Reviving the Art of Black & White Photography in Kingston.

MILT STUDIOS reflects both history and possibility. Its equipment comes from the New York darkroom where legendary jazz bassist and photographer Milt Hinton’s work was printed and preserved — a space central to bringing his archive to life through his close collaborators.

Now rebuilt in Kingston, it serves as a hub for analog printing, archiving, and collaboration — honoring Hinton’s work while also opening the door to new voices and projects.

At the heart of the studio is a vintage Leica Focomat 1 enlarger, once housed in an East 12th Street apartment where prints for Milt’s landmark books like Bass Line and OverTime were made.

Rebuilt in Kingston, the darkroom continues that legacy as both a tribute and a living creative space.
