Another shot of on of my stays in Berlin this year.
I saw this classy looking man waiting alone in this auditorium. Wearing all black myself that day, i blocked the reflection by just standing right in front of him. Focused and waited for his reaction and released when he looked at me.
Taken with a Leica M6 Rangefinder camera (90's) and a 35mm f2.0 Summicron (60's) Leitz lens attached.
Exposed on Kodak 400TX, developed in Kodak Xtol (1:1).
Handmade darkroom print on Agfa MC glossy FB (fiber based) Paper. Size 12x16in.
(ferrotype glossed finish)
All you see is analogue.
Print avaiable in various sizes, signed and numbered.
ps: ignore the exif, it's the camera i used to digitalize the print
This has a gorgeous classic old world feel to it, perfectly captured as always with your work. I bet this looks 100% times better in person, a glossy print with all the rich tones of grey and fine details. I like this one a lot
Perfect timing- this somehow manages to be a shot taken out of time- the man could be from almost any era of the last 100 years.
I also love the technical aspect of you using your black clothes to void the reflection- the intersection of your two forms also makes for a really interesting dynamic.

Very nice shot and very nice print

But its great to see that you're uploading photos from your old blog on DA
Nice timing.
