Approachable, high-quality, and personalized.
Seven+ years on, Doug and Ben strive to meet these standards every day, expanding and rethinking what it means to be a local photo lab that services the entire United States.
Our Story – A Timeline
From a family photo tradition to reviving film equipment in our basement, to building a multi-location lab serving photographers nationwide — here are a few milestones that shaped Gelatin Labs.
Let's go back (to the future)!
Ben Krueger is an artist based in South Orange, NJ. He received his B.F.A. in Photography from The Savannah College of Art & Design in 2021.
Ben’s work explores the world around him with a focus on long-term and editorial projects. He collaborates with other artists and brands to create fresh, unique projects that evoke a sense of timelessness and youth.
Photography has taken Ben across the globe from Hong Kong, Thailand, Italy, and Spain, to England, Canada, and the West Coast.
There's no place like home.
Doug Krueger is a photographer, born and raised in Union, NJ. His passion for photography began at age fourteen, but it wasn’t until 1994, with the purchase of his first camera (a Yashica T4), that he truly began his photographic journey.
Doug’s work primarily explores the “off-the-cuff,” documenting the spaces he inhabits and places visited.
When not behind the lens, he enjoys spending time with his wife, son and two parrots, collecting timepieces, and driving cars.
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away....
Photography is encoded into the Krueger DNA.
Alongside running Gelatin, Ben has been uncovering hidden gems of family history. Among the many ancestors who wielded the family camera, his great, great grandfather, Benjamin delicately captured the lives of his loved ones, much like Ben and Doug do today.
Through the archival processes and services at Gelatin, Ben has been digitizing the negatives, prints, and film reels to preserve his family’s photographic legacy.
