The photograph above is of my studio when I was building it, back in 2006, taken with a Noblex 135U panoramic camera. It now is a great place to work in, well equipped and capturing as much daylight as possible. Here I work and create my images, using mainly old analog cameras and lenses. Shooting on film or either directly expose photographic paper, in black & white or color. Develop with chemicals and rinse with water until the negatives are to my satisfaction.

For my 9th birthday my mother gave me a beautiful Kodak Brownie box camera. I remember taking pictures on the beach and stopping the waves for less than a second, it was magical. At the Academy of Arts were I studied Graphic Design and got a bachelor in Illustration I used the camera mainly to capture something that I could use in my design or drawing, or to reproduce these works I created. It must have been 15 years ago that I really started with serious photography. Better digital cameras were becoming available, I bought one using a subsidy I received for my work as an artist. But, with the digital cameras evolving, I turned more and more towards analog photography, buying old cameras and experimenting with analog techniques. Now I use vintage and antique cameras, from a big mahogany French 'full plate' camera to a small Japanese 'half frame' camera. When I get to view the world trough fantastic old lenses from brands like Voigtländer, Berthiot or Goerz there arises a feeling I can touch time.
