Analog Photography

In October 2014, we had the chance to par­tic­i­pate in a pho­tog­ra­phy course at Kunstuni Linz. As part of that, we had to take pic­tures using an ana­log SLR (Pentax 6×7 with medium for­mat film). Thereby, we were forced to think about each aspect of the image that is finally cap­tured on film (expo­sure, focus, aper­ture, etc.) with­out any sort of automa­tism. This was a unique expe­ri­ence, because the work­flow for cap­tur­ing and devel­op­ing a photo is very dif­fer­ent to what we are used to today.

The pho­tos in this album were not dig­i­tally altered or edited in any way, apart from crop­ping them after scan­ning and nor­mal­iz­ing the histogram.
