After a decade of taking “family pictures” with a digital Nikon SLR I bought in 2021 the Hasselblad 907X & CFV II 50C which I now use (sometimes together with my old Hasselblad equipment) for the creation of digital black and white pictures.
I appreciate the paradigms promoted by the “Group f/64” as phrased by Edward Weston “The camera should be used for a recording of life, for rendering the very substance and quintessence of the thing itself, whether it be polished steel or palpitating flesh”. Accordingly there is nothing on my pictures, that wasn’t already on the analogue or digital negative.

entry description
Grimsel Dam Wall in the Swiss Alpsabout the photographer
Born in 1968 I discovered in the late 1990s the works of Andreas Feininger and the books of Ansel Adams and consequently converted to a black and white photographer. I bought a Hasselblad 501 CM with several lenses, developed the prints in my own darkroom and participated in competitions and exhibitions until the end of the 2010’s.After a decade of taking “family pictures” with a digital Nikon SLR I bought in 2021 the Hasselblad 907X & CFV II 50C which I now use (sometimes together with my old Hasselblad equipment) for the creation of digital black and white pictures.
