35mm Analog Film Photography – Some Yoga for your Eyes!

Analog is the new digital

Nobody likes to look at photos without character. Photos that are so technically pure and sharp that they make your eyes hurt.

The beautiful, unexpected comes from imperfection, like blur, color shift, dust and grain.

Everyone back to the beginning... lift your head, look straight ahead and rediscover the analog - the real world.

35mm Analog Film Photography by Markus Spiske

What is special about this collection?

No Pixel

The original source material is not based on pixels, but 35mm analog photography

Equipment

All pictures were taken with analog vintage Leica cameras and lenses (R7, 1994 / M6, 1987)

Upcycling

98% of all photos are taken with expired, partly over 15 years old, overlaid films, whose storage was unknown

Effects

Sometimes results in experimental, abstract color shifts and other „special effects“ that cannot be imitated digitally

18 Collections

Currently there are 116 individual items from 18 different collections available, beeing constantly expanded

Local

95% of the images were taken in the Franconian metropolitan region (Upper and Middle Franconia), in the triangle between Nuremberg, Bamberg and Bayreuth

Film is not Dead!

Analog rocks

I prefer to use expired 35mm color film of unknown storage and shoot with a Leica R7 and Leica M6.

It is very exciting to receive the films after development to see if the film could still be exposed and how the colors are.
