Photography
Resonant Link Photography is the visual journey of Marco Annaratone and Hanni Cerutti. We operate in Berlin, Milan, and San Francisco: we live in the first, resurface randomly in the second, and would love to spend much more time in the third. We spent a great deal of our life around the world. We seek ‘links that resonate’ between cultures. Or between arts. Or within ourselves.
Our projects consist of unique pieces: we respect the century-old tradition of Photography to legitimize multiple copies of the same visual representation, but we simply (and passionately) beg to differ.
We have been using a digital SLR permanently modified for near-infrared photography, and focused on large landscape images with up to a billion pixels. We plan to move our research toward subjects less conventional than classical landscapes. Our experiences are collected in a specific site devoted to the technique.
This is ongoing, very exploratory work. We have written two papers in recent years that have been received by the community very well and are available for download as pdf documents.
The former, Going Ultra, discusses our aesthetic of ULF photography and more prosaically presents the many practical challenges that ULF imposes on the photographer new to the tool. In-camera positive paper (both color and black and white) is what we do in ULF: this is the one and only picture-taking methodology that delivers by its very nature true “unique images.” 21st century daguerrotypes!
The latter, In The Land of The Giants, is a short technical contribution that deals specifically with three lenses that are best suited to ULF photography.
