The photographic life of WOLFRAM SCHROLL began with Baryta paper, fixer, dry pressing, green light, the Durst Laborator photo enlarger and the Tri-X from Kodak. "A light-sensitive film with 400 ASA and a distinctly grainy structure. It liberated me from the tripod and enabled a new kind of photography. Little or preferably no artificial lighting, hand-held shots, always close to the subject. I often do this even today, decades later. But unfortunately, my black and white work fell by the wayside." Wolfram tells GoSee.
This theme was eventually picked up again by a graphic designer. She produced black and white prints of a series of images I had done of a small high-tech foundry, and I was stunned. Following a whim, I searched through my portfolio and developed a number of recent pieces, picture by picture, in a Tri-X plug-in. The result is a brochure with 12 double pages and a bit of text.
As a reminder, we also bring you his latest portfolio book with impressive color photos of brayers, steel industries or flight simulators.
About WOLFRAM SCHROLL
Lube oil rather than hair spray, blue collar rather than haute couture, preferably the smell of steel to the waft of perfume. No models, no cool locations, just raw reality. I love my work - industrial photography. And I love the noise and the heat, the weirdness of the production lines, sometimes all a bit menacing. The people, salt of the earth, uncomplicated. And the permanent challenge of getting photos out of the dark production halls and complex machinery, photos that deserve the word picture. On behalf of customers, taking photos of machines that look as expensive as they actually are. Here at this website, you can sample of my latest work from the worlds of steel, paper, machine construction and medical technology....and of the people who work there.
