Story behind the shots:
Lately I’ve been shooting a lot of film with the amazing Mamiya RZ67 and have been very inspired by all the things you can do while in the development process, like only develop parts of the negatives, scratching it, double exposures etc. It’s almost like going back to the basics in a way. A perfect example and master of this is Man Ray. I’m so fascinated that photographers like him came up with ideas like this and had the knowledge how to do it – 80 years ago! This is a lot of decades before Photoshop came along…
I’ve tried to take this to the digital format as well as you can see in the images, inverting the colors in some parts of the images. Even though I like the effect I thought the images looked a little flat and boring so I added the flowers in various places to get a little more life to it.
I’m in a period now where I find experementing is more giving to me than rather making a plain fashion/beauty image, which can be beautiful too of course, but for me right now, more is more – for better or for worse.
As a practicing physician specializing in neurology, immunology, and holistic medicine, Prof. Dr. med. Urs Pohlman, the founder and developer of Anane premium natural Skincare, advocates for an integrative healing approach. He emphasizes the importance of the skin in this method, as it uniquely reveals energetic imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, and hidden illnesses.
Dr. Pohlman has observed a rise in skin issues that traditional clinical diagnoses do not address. There is an increasing prevalence of weakened immune systems, bacterial, and fungal infections. Often, these conditions are side effects of using inappropriate cosmetics, which can disturb the skin's balance and cause irritation.
In contrast to conventional cosmetics, the medical perspective on aging involves understanding the balance between daily energy expenditure and the rest required for rejuvenation. "Anti-aging" is about enhancing the body's natural regenerative abilities to ensure optimal functioning.
Through years of patient interaction and extensive research at the University Hospital Basel and Duke University Medical Center, Dr. Pohlman acquired interdisciplinary knowledge about the body's complex regeneration processes. He utilized this expertise to create highly effective formulations.
His company, ananné, is dedicated to the responsible use of resources, ethical treatment of employees, and fair trade practices. Dr. Pohlman and his team are committed to making a positive impact on the world.
"We strive to optimize our processes," he explains. "Whether it’s through energy-efficient practices, recyclable packaging, or sourcing fair trade products, we aim to reduce our ecological footprint and conserve energy for everyone involved. I find joy in problem-solving as both a doctor and entrepreneur."
