Hi, I'm Ben, I'm 26.

I'm taking photos since summer 2006, but I've always been into photography trough my dad who's a photographer. As a child I used to go with him in the dark room.

He gives me the best technical and artistic advices and his opinion means a lot to me.

 

I've started with an Olympus OM10 bought on ebay a year ago, wich I upgraded recently for an Om2. I also own an Holga for fun and a medium format Yashica 124G, a Polaroid 600 bought for 2 euro at a garden sell, and recently I bought a Polaroid SX70 from a friend (modified for 600 film)...

 

I started print my own photos with an enlarger (Durst M370)at home at the same time.

 

I like B&W pictures with high contrast, and geometric composition, but I don't feel comfortable to describe "my work", I let you make your own opinion.

I live in Paris, and I usually take my camera with me every time I leave home. I'd like to travel a bit more to take pictures if I had the opportunity.

 

I'm not so fond of Photoshop stuff, even if I'm able to use it, I prefer the old ways, my enlarger, the smell of chemical products, and put my hands trough the light. But maybe one day, I'll go digital, you never know...

 

Well thanks you for reading this and looking at my photos, your comments are very welcomed!

Flickr is really great, I wish it a long and peacefully life on the web (let's hope for the best because good stuff never last long on the web...)

Ben
