Exploring the Craft and Chemistry of Black & White Photography

The Analog Lab serves as the experimental branch of my photographic work — a place where practice, chemistry, and aesthetics of traditional black-and-white photography meet.

It focuses on the practical testing of developers, comparisons between classic and modern black and white films, and the creative possibilities of different development methods.

At its core lies one central question: How can a black-and-white negative be developed to its full potential — from exposure to final presentation?

Each project aims to provide transparent, reproducible insights for photographers who wish to refine their own analog process or explore new combinations of film and chemistry.

Main Areas of Focus

Developer Comparisons – Evaluating tonal range, sharpness, and grain structure across a variety of developer formulas.

Film Testing – Examining both traditional and tabular-grain films under real-world conditions.

Hybrid Workflow – Combining analog development with high-resolution digital scanning and analysis.
