I have practiced photography for over 20 years and mostly worked in 35 mm for its easy to use. I always have the feeling that the way I “saw” a subject surpassed the capture, I remembered details and textures that I couldn’t find with the same accuracy in the picture. For that reason I horned my skills in studio lighting to have better results.
After a short break from photography I returned to explore the capabilities of Digital Medium Format.
