Time isn't Here to Stay
Afraid to Dream
Someone Else's Memories
Tiny Dancer
Silly Dreams
Self Portrait
I shoot 4x5 with my pinholes and with a Calumet 4x5 view camera. I like this format for a lot of reasons, being aesthetics and technical. The big negative allows me to make copies or even contacts preserving image quality. For being individual sheets, I can work on each negative separately. It gives me more freedom to experiment and learn. I also like to play with the movements of the view camera. The distortions can give a dreamy atmosphere, witch I love. There are so many choices in the way of composing the image, that it feels much more personal as we are creating a scene that we couldn't see in the real world.
My name is Flavia Schaller and I live in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Photography is a passion since childhood. My first experiences with photography came at the age of 8, when my parents gave me an Olympus Trip 35 which I still have with me. Years later, my interest returned when I got and old Rolleiflex from my uncle who was a photographer. Since then, I've been working exclusively with film using medium and large format cameras, including homemade pinholes. Today, all my prints are made by me using traditional darkroom techniques.
