As every year I visited the Rencontres d'Arles photo festival in the south of France in June. Unlike in previous years, I visited the city in the third week of the festival and not in the opening week. Most of the events had already taken place and the city was a little quieter. Some pop-up galleries and exhibitions as part of the parallel Off Festival were no longer running. Nevertheless, five days were more than enough for me to see a lot.
Anyone visiting Arles will also notice the increasing number of street photographers who offer to create analogue portraits using often homemade wooden cameras. These photos are taken and developed directly on the street, often with a self-made camera. After 30 minutes at the latest, you will have your portrait in your hand. The functioning of the Minutera camera with negative and positive processes is extremely pragmatic and can be realised with the simplest of means ...

The human representation is my photographic focus. This can affect people in everyday situations as well as portraits. I don't differentiate my portraits based on whether my models are clothed or not. The portrayal of nudity has delighted humanity for millennia and is also a source of joy for me.
I work both analog and digital, depending on my task and mood. The technique is not a dogma. In general I give priority to the physical presence of a signed print over a digital image.
Even if a picture itself does not tell a story, it can be the starting point of a story in the recipients head. I hope you find in my galleries at least one picture that can be the starting point of your own story.
In addition to my own photography, I talk a lot with other people in the photography scene. I publish particularly interesting conversations with photographers, models and others on my blog thomasberlin.net/blog
