What I like about shooting analogue is the accidental “mistakes” that can just make a shot. I don’t think someone would have a clean digital underwater photo and decide to add a super ray of red light in the middle.
But here we have one perfectly placed by accident giving the photo such a great feel.
I met Federico when he submitted pictures to a book I was photo editing. We were already flickr buddies but at the time I didn’t realize that.
As the months flew by his work changed from Lomography snap-shots to well thought out frames shot with his Hasselblad 501cm. The simplicity of his shots with solid tones and fantastic framing is what makes him stand out as an Analogue Master. And the perfect guy to start this blog with!
Top 3 cameras: Hasselblad 501cm, Lomo lc-a and Contax T2
Top 3 films: Kodak Portra 400vc, Agfa RSXII and Fuji Pro 160C
Your Aim: Becoming a professional one day without loosing the pleasure and freedom of shooting of the amateur.
Plans: None just some photographic projects to be started soon, and probably the idea of leaving Italy, but I’m saying that thing for too much time and I’m here still.
Analogue masters is a showcase corner on the web for all things analogue. Inspiration is from photography but we want to stretch the blog into the field of music and film-making while reviewing cameras, other analogue groups, photographic societies, shops, analogue thinkers and even camera repair people! We would love other people to contribute especially as we're based in London and don’t want the content to be too UK-driven. So if you have a shop, band, photographer or exhibition to showcase email us! All the best and we hope you enjoy!
