SuperyachtPhoto

A photograph that will never become a file.

Your yacht is captured on large-format infrared negative and, in my darkroom at sea, immortalised on paper, fittingly and with artistry. The frame is then built, shaped by your yacht and the space where it will be shown.

No file  ·  No scan  ·  No copy  ·  Ever

Always discreet. What is seen on board stays on board.

The Process

Horseman SW612  ·  Rodenstock 45mm  ·  Infrared B&W Negative  ·  Jobo Development to 8×10 inch  ·  Durst L1200 + Rodenstock 150mm  ·  Negatives to 4×5 inch

A single piece, 60 × 120 cm or 90 × 180 cm, considerably larger once framed. On baryta or PE fibre paper, matte only.

The frame is built on location. Delivered as a finished work, with museum transport. Any publication remains yours to decide.

Your one negative is sealed in a matching light box and installed with the work at its place of presentation.

Experience

A trained photographer, assistant in Stuttgart, Frankfurt and Konstanz. From 1997 to 2009, owner and photographer of PFD, a studio for architecture, advertising and aerospace photography in Friedrichshafen.

The photo that never becomes a file.

Photography is the art of painting with light.

Please include a photo of your yacht (to find the right location) and an additional photo of the presentation room (to design the bespoke frame).

If I find your superyacht ugly, I will not make an offer.

Please do not be disappointed. It is simply the photographer's view.
