Does the analogue camera play a role?

No, not at all. No matter which analogue camera (35mm or medium format) you have, I will cater exactly to you and your camera.

Does age play a role?

No, age doesn't matter for the individual analogue photography workshop. I teach children, teenagers, adults and senior citizens alike.

Is an individual course difficult for beginners?

No, that's quite simple. In your individual analogue workshop, we start where you are with your know-how and then build on it very carefully. I explain photography simply and straightforwardly. Later in the course we put everything into practice (photo excursion).

What if I am no longer a pure beginner?

If you are no longer a beginner and already have a little or a lot of photographic know-how, then you have come to the right place, as this is an individual course. So we can start exactly where you want to expand your expertise. I realise this in the first minute or two when we talk about what you already know.

What makes a good photo trainer for analogue photography?

A good photography trainer doesn't have to be a famous photographer. Many photographers can't communicate and pass on photography. What is important for you is that I am a good trainer who knows something about it. I have been taking analogue photographs since 1970, have developed black and white and colour in the lab, have been shooting analogue 35mm and analogue medium format (MF since my youth). I know my way around, I never know everything, but I rarely pass (if I do, you'll get an answer later).

Do you also teach analogue medium format?

Yes, I also teach analogue photography with the medium format camera. Taking analogue photos with a medium format camera is a great pleasure, also because of the large negatives and the resulting resolution and plasticity in the photo.

Do you have your own darkroom where I can learn?

Not at the moment, but I know how to do it. If you have a darkroom, would like to learn and don't live too far away from me, then I can help. But I work hybrid myself. I take analogue photos, then have them developed and scanned. I then edit my photos digitally using image editing software based on the analogue possibilities.
