January 2012 Archives

My principal objective is to capture a serene and mysterious world, where places are minimalistic, and where each image shows the imprint of man on that particular place. I'm deeply interested in the way each human being's experiences influences their own
perception of the environment, and in tempting viewers to stimulate their own imagination

Actually most part of my work used a  customized plastic analogic Holga Camera . I often use long exposure also with this camera. I work with ilford Delta 100 film and kodak Tmax 400 that I process at home with ilford Perceptol. Print are done on Museo Portfolio Rag Mat paper.

Born in Paris but lives in Switzerland.

Originally from Hamburg, Germany - I live and work in Brussels, Belgium. I started portrait and fashion photography in April 2006 as a spare time activity - as a creative counterweight to my  job - and this is still the same today. I love photography for being able to create my own world inside my pictures and express myself on a level I could not with words. My work and way of working is not very conceptual or following a certain plan. Instead I am guided by a more intuitive approach.

After making my first steps digitally I soon moved onwards, and now enjoy using large and bulky manual cameras loaded with film. I currently use 8x10", 4x5", medium format and 35mm cameras. The different formats provide different looks, but more importantly demand a different way of working. This forces me to challenge my own way of working over and over again. I would probably claim that using large format cameras has taught me most of what I know about photography - it has influenced my work with other formats quite considerably. I am shooting mostly black and white and for indoor/low light situations I use Kodak Tri-x, for outdoor I prefer Fuji Acros. When using color film I like the Portra films of Kodak and Fuji's PRO 400H

"Seeing the black dog"

"Seeing the black dog" is a saying truck drivers use to describe hallucinations that occur as a result of sleep deprivation during cross country runs.  When they see the "black dogs" scampering across the highway they know to pull over and get some sleep.   The moment they make that decision is when I sneak up to their trucks while they're in the cabs sleeping and capture the moment the dogs melt away.  All of the images were taken between the hours of 2am and 6am along the New Jersey Turnpike.

All of the image were taken with 8x10 camera and black and white film developed in pyro.  I'm handmaking large 34x44 platinum prints for all of the images.

Born In New Jersey, 1978.  Michael Massaia is a fine art photographer and printmaker whose work focuses on New York City, and New Jersey Life and landscape.
