A picture from last summer, not normally my photography. But it was a lot of fun. Stefan and I met regularly in the park and took a few large format shots. Here's one from the 5x7” Plaubel. It's also brilliant in the studio. I should use it more for portrait sessions. Oh yes, if I had more time.

Sometimes a little distance helps. I wonder how I could have missed the picture. It's from our “We'll take Mainhattan” shoot (it was a little inspired by the We'll take Manhattan shoot for Vogue by David Bailey and Jean Shrimpton. Luckily there was an old phone booth in Frankfurt that we were able to use, along with many other locations that fit perfectly. I didn't notice the portrait in the phone booth at all.

It's always exciting to unpack a completely new device, especially when you've only been able to fall back on technology that is over 20 years old for a long time. The new Plustek medium format film scanner is therefore very interesting for our professional work! In the new issue of SilvergrainClassics,

we take a very detailed look at this device and show what it can do and where its limits are.
