What is the Goldmann project?
We would like to bring back the atmosphere of the 19th century in portrait photography: taking the time to produce the unique, unrepeatable analogue image with its unmistakable look.
So we set out on a quest to carefully restore our ultra large format wooden camera made in R.A. Goldmann's factory in Vienna around 1910 and developed a special chemical process which allows us to hand out the finished photograph in just a few minutes - thus meeting tradition to today's needs.
This is how we love capturing portraits, tableaux, objects, or even buildings or landscapes be it for a wedding or any private/company event. Although the whole photography session draws attention we invite you to take part when the magic happens, that is to see the final image emerging in the last step of the development.
The black and white analogue photographs are 26x31 cm in size and are made on a special photo paper without any negative thus making them the only one in the universe ready for mounting or framing.

No surprise I love analogue film photography. It makes you think,
it's tangible and organic like life itself,
it's like a kind of meditation.
I also pretty much grew up with it as my father used to be a press photographer.
Other than that, I'm a musician and an engineer, too, and as such I'm keen on resolving the challenges in photochemistry and lab machinery.

I've been working in applied photography since 1997 mostly capturing objects, food and still life.
A few years ago I got drawn into the world of traditional large format portrait photography and since then it intrigues me that it requires absolutely different perspective when compared to the current trends of photography.
