With these smartphones and digital cameras, you can get to take shots instantly in which you do not need just many virtues to obtain photographs of enormous beauty quality. But it is in analog where there is still something that takes those photographs in an almost unique way, something that happens with vinyl to offer a sound that is still difficult to replicate through an MP3.
Giles Clement is a photographer who likes to remain among those who prefer analog and is capable of creating beautiful portraits with photographic equipment more than 160 years old. As he describes, from an era in which cameras were created by artisans in small shops and in which lenses were manufactured thanks to the photographer's own experience and sense.
These devices have their own peculiarities and it is for this very reason that Clement is captivated for its capabilities. The inherent flaws of such analog equipment are perfect for the photography that this artist wants to offer to portray an imperfect world.
And it is the same techniques used in ataño, such as tintype, that Clement relies on for take up to 10 minutes to take a picture. It is these challenges that make this photographer enthusiastic, even after a professional career of more than 16 years.
vintage images made by Clement are dark, with their own entity and have the ability to capture that instant in time to astonish those who see them. To better show the beauty of these snapshots, Clement has printed them on a glass plate for the model himself to hold while being photographed again to obtain the photographs that you can find right here.
Great job of juxtaposition between those photos taken with a team of so many years and that model who looks at her own reflection.
