ABOUT
I've taking up photography at around 2012. I love photographing at concerts, trying to take that one shot, that has it all.
After more than 14 years of drawing and painting portrets, my interests where shifted to photography, using therefore (hopefully) the best of both disciplines. In painting I love the use of color while in portret photography I tend to favor black & white.
Recently I started going back in time even more with older photographic processes: first shooting and processing film (35 mm and medium format) in color as well as black & white, followed by wet plate collodion photography. A process introduced in 1851 by Frederick Scott Archer. By using the old techniques of wet plate collodion with so many different chemicals to reproduce pictures, it feels like finally combining painting and photography.
