Analog photo workshop Třebíč

The first Sunday in March would be like any other for me, except that I shared my passion for analog with one enthusiastic participant in a private workshop.

Analog is simply a natural part of my work. It's not a return to my roots, but more of a daily joy of taking photos and often a way to slow down my thoughts.

We started off nicely in the warmth of my studio, where we covered the basics – you know, the theory you can’t do without in analog. But who wants to spend too much time on theory when there’s spring weather and the historic center of Třebíč waiting outside?

So we went to the Jewish Quarter, which is perfect for analog photography. The alleys, the nooks, the atmosphere… you simply can't take photos there with just digital. Every picture there is a bit about searching and finding, about patience and the fact that things can't be erased and tried again right away.

Our steps then led us to the Jewish cemetery. I know it's a place full of piety and peace, but that's why we tried to capture the atmosphere with the utmost respect. And I think we managed to create some really impressive images that reflect the genius loci of this place.

It was a day full of discovery, learning and most importantly the joy of photography. I'm already looking forward to the next workshop, because there's just something about analog. Something that I don't think digital will ever replace.

Below are photos from our day, which we enjoyed, and there is also another gallery with negatives that I am happy to share.

If you are interested in any of my analog workshops, either on classic film or wet collodion, just call some of my contacts..

Here is the Jewish cemetery plan.

You may not know that, after Jerusalem, the Jewish monuments of Třebíč are the only ones that have been separately listed in UNESCO.

Here are scanned negatives with original defects, such as drops and fine dust particles, which can be used to learn about these shortcomings that need to be avoided next time.
