The Photos
My active interest in photography began in 1972. During the summer, when
traveling through Spain for 3 months, I came to realize, as said by Susan
Meiselas,"that the camera is an excuse to be some place you otherwise
don't belong"
For the last 20 years my interest has mainly been candid, street and
documentary photography.
In a very direct way the photos show people, mainly city people and their
surroundings. The persons are very often being photographed without
knowing it. I do it openly, discreet and tactful and try to give the
photos a straight appearance, which makes them unusual.
Cameras: Digital SLR and compact cameras. Sometimes however I work with
analogue cameras (SLR and rangefinder).
My first camera was a Minolta SR 1.
Favourite lenses: 24, 28 and 100 mm prime lenses and a 17-40 mm zoom.
Occasionally I use 45/50 mm and 200 mm prime lenses.
Software: Silverfast Ai 6 (scanning software), Photoshop CS3, Canon DPP
(Digital Photo Professional).
Films: 24x36 mm slide films, Kodachrome, Fujichrome Provia, Ilford FP4
or XP1 films.
