Verona, Italy 
About: Hi everybody, I'm an italian guy living in a wonderful town called Verona (do you remember Romeo and Juliet??). I mainly work in "analogic" B/W (MF and LF) but looking at this website I'm convincing myself to enter in this crazy world of digital (ahahahah! I'm joking I love too much wasting time in my darkroom :D ).
In the meantime I've decided to work with a hybrid technolgy : I use films (my preferred are Ilford PanF+,FP4+ and HP5+, Kodak Trix400), I develop them by myself (Rodinal, PMK, HC110 or ID11) and then I scan the film with an Epson 4870.
After an accurate analisys of the best photo on the screen I proceed with the eventual fine art print.
For Fiber based paper I prefer is Agfa MC111 and Ilford Warmtone. Resin coated I use Tetenal.
For these papers the effect of selenium toning is really strong (Tetenal become brown/red after 6 minutes! :) )
I use a Durst Laborator1200 with colour head (CLS501) and Schneider (135mm) or Rodenstock (80mm) lenses
I use PS only to replicate what I can do in my darkroom so :
- burning and dodging
- variable contrast paper simulation (with curves)
- brown or selenium toning (with Quadtones).
Please, contact me directly if you want to use one of my pictures or you want to know more technical specifications.
