Artist's Comments

Camera Obscura shot.

This is a repro of a Baryt positive. It turned out fabulous, I'm still amazed how sharp and brilliant the results are. There's a slight distortion and light-decrease at the edges, which gives the picture a very surreal touch.

I'm totally in love with film, special techniques and the darkroom again. I did most of my pictures digitally during the last 2 years; it feels wonderful to be back on bw film, printing on Baryt.

My latest images are branded by my current state of mind - they are a bit lonely, hush, soft. It feels good to abandon the bright colours.

Wow, that is beautiful - this is an excellent technique and I just love how you've presented this. The composition of the subject is perfect, along with the cutoff on the left - this is something I would put in high-res on my wall! I love the surrealistic feel and gritty textures. Great work!

I might make this available in my shop as soon as I get the chance to scan the original image properly. There's also the chance of getting the original baryt print, if you're interested. ;)
