Initially I photographed with Canon and Pentax cameras in 35mm format. In 2004 I switched to medium format and since then I have been working with Hasselblad, first analog and from 2021 digital. My preference for the Hasselblad system is based on the fact that, thanks to the digital back, I can continue to shoot with my fully mechanical CM 501 but nevertheless benefit of the advantages of the digital workflow. Additionally, I can use the digital back with the 907x with modern autofocus lenses, which opens up new fields of photography to me.
Earlier I developed my images in my own darkroom. In the mid-2010s, I switched to a digital workflow. However, I remained true to my image processing principles and there is nothing on my printed images that was not already existing on the analog or digital negative.

entry description
Grimsel Dam Wall in the Swiss Alpsabout the photographer
Thanks to the pictures of Andreas Feininger, Henri-Cartier Bresson and the group f.64, in particular Edward Weston and Ansel Adams, I discovered my passion for photography. I prefer black and white photography because it emphasizes form, whether natural-made in plants or man-made in architecture. Further I like to capture moods, such as the transience of industrial equipment or the lightness of the moment in street photography.Initially I photographed with Canon and Pentax cameras in 35mm format.
