Analogue photography on film

A roll of film has 36 frames, and every one counts. That slowness changes a shoot – you become calmer, more precise, more honest. You can see it in the pictures.

What you get

  • 0135 mm and medium format, black and white and colour – depending on the look you want
  • 02Developed in my own darkroom, high-resolution scans of the negatives
  • 03Real film grain and tonality that no filter reproduces
  • 04Fine-art prints on baryta paper on request
  • 05Can be combined with a digital shoot on the same day

How it works

  1. 1ConversationWhich look should it be – soft black and white, strong grain, colour film with character? Then I choose film and camera.
  2. 2ShootDeliberately slow: a few considered frames instead of rapid fire. Usually 60 to 90 minutes, partner studio or daylight.
  3. 3DarkroomI develop and scan myself. That takes a few days longer than digital – and is part of the result.
  4. 4PrintsYou receive the scans as files and, on request, hand-made prints or fine-art prints.

Who it is for

  • —People who want a portrait that lasts – not for LinkedIn, but for the wall
  • —Artists with a visual language that suits film
  • —Couples and families looking for something lasting
  • —Editors and labels for editorials with an analogue feel
Prices depend on scope, team (make-up, hair styling) and usage rights. You receive a written quote in advance – with no hidden items.

Frequently asked questions

Why film, when digital is faster?
Because the way of working is different: fewer frames, more concentration, no checking on a display. That leads to portraits that look less posed. And the grain of real film cannot be replaced.
How many images do I get?
Depending on scope one to three rolls, i.e. 36 to 108 frames, of which a curated selection as scans – typically 15 to 30 finished images.
Can I have the negatives?
Yes, on request I hand over the negatives after scanning.
How long until delivery?
Developing, scanning and editing take about two weeks. Prints an additional one to two weeks depending on format.
Does film work in the studio with flash?
Yes. Medium format with studio flash is a classic combination for beauty and portrait – see the series Amaya and Bianca.
