About me

Returning to analog photography after 45 years

 My name is Andreas Leuchtmann and I live alternately in Hanover and Detmold. I started photography as a student, took a long break, experienced the digital revolution, and spent many years doing digital astrophotography with my 8-inch Newtonian. After decades of mindless office work, I was finally able to pursue my own interests in 2021.  Returning to terrestrial photography, initially digital, then analog black and white since 2023, initially with a restored CANON FTb SLR 35mm camera. In 2024, the Rolleicord V came into my life. After repairing the shutter myself [I don't recommend this to anyone], I was able to start shooting in the medium format 6x6cm on Rollfilm.

I only use Fomapan + ILFORD films and develop in coffee/Caffenol

I expose the coffee/Caffenol-developed films in my darkroom to create genuine silver gelatin prints. In my shop, I sell the digitized negatives printed on Hahnemühle Baryta paper and Canvas and so on. Mostly in 1:1 Rolleicord TSLR format, but also 2:3 and 3:4. I process the images similarly to my darkroom prints.
