Photography - Analog

Body paining photosession in Germany

Analog photography is known to most people as print or slide photography in either color or black and white.

The 35mm SLR cameras are the most wide spread, but there is medium and large format analog photography as well.

I started off with analog photograpy in my early teens with a old point and shoot camera. In my late teens I bought my first SLR and have been taking photos ever since on a regular basis.

At some point when still living in Germany I started to study Art and Photography at the HBK Art University in Braunschweig. During that period I had my own studio and dark chamber as I was working mostly with Black and White. During that time I used a Russian made Kiev 6 by 6 medium format camera, which is a copy of a Haselblad camera.

In Germany 1982 - 1987 I used a Yashica manual focus SLR with an array of lenses ranging from 24 mm wide angle to 300 mm tele lens

In Central America 1987-1988 I used a point and shoot camera

In Africa 1989-1990 I used a Yashica autofocus SLR with 28 - 70 mm lens

In South East Asia 1992-1994 I used a Yashica manual focus SLR with an array of lenses ranging from 24 mm wide angle to 300 mm tele lens

In Honduras 1994 - 1995 I used the Yashica camera system as well

In Mexico beginning of 1995 - 1999 I started with a Nikon N50 SLR with wide array of lenses ranging from 24 mm wide angle to 300 mm tele lens but changed to digital photography in 1999
