Evans+Hulf work with an 1888 ultra-large format camera, which takes 15”x12” negatives. The combination of nineteenth century equipment and chemistry with advanced digital technology results in pictures unlike any others.
About
The giant camera ‘sees’ the world in a different way: it captures an enormous amount of detail, but objects and people slide in and out of focus; exposures are long; snapshots and action photography are impossible; hallucinatory clarity and detail melt into hazy softness.
The equipment is heavy and cumbersome: every step has to be planned and considered, leading to an awareness of what can, and cannot, be photographed.
A sense of time and movement is present in all the images, and of the interaction of people with the environment.
