The photo above is a photo of Jean-Félix Boudry at work. His whole life with two Leicas and a technical chamber.
No studio, just a small black and white lab.
He died over 20 years ago, he never knew digital photography.
He learned photography on his own, reading the little papers in the film boxes.
The most amazing?
He had a cell in his brain. He was watching a scene and instantly knew what speed, what aperture he needed.
Focusing was only manual, like everything else.
Increase the brightness of your screen until the grayscale is fully visible, from black to white. Thank you.
