See :PolaFestival
THE BIRTH OF THE PROJECT
La 8″10″ Woodyman was born out of a passion shared by two friends for the large format photography and a statement: “The 8×10 large format photographic cameras are unique tools, they have an incomparable quality and offer impressive possibilities. The financial investment to start in this photographic format remains very important.” Here is the idea: democratizing the large format!
WHY MAINTAIN THE PRACTICE OF THE LARGE FORMAT?
Large format photography produced the most important and beautiful images ever created.
Between 1930s and 1950s, pioneers like Ansel Adams and Edward Weston brought back with their cameras the most breathtaking pictures of landscape photography.
Even with the advent of the digital age, large format photography has survived thanks to the incomparable possibilities it offers and its unparalleled quality definition.
The best current digital sensors do not allow to reach the resolutions of large format films (beyond the 4×5).
This wonderful process older than a century still attracts new passionate photographers.
Making this format more accessible means helping to make it live !
