"In 2004 I traveled to Zurich, Switzerland, and wanted to purchase a legendary viewfinder camera, the ALPA SWA12. But I didn't like the gold-colored trim on the shutter release and hinges, too flashy for the street and not really stylish. I got ALPA to anodize all the parts black, which turned out to be very difficult, it took them half a year and they vowed never to do such a conversion again. But I had it, my unique "Black ALPA", whose quality in 6x8 format is unsurpassed and its handling possible even without a tripod."
The collection is part of the "Lensfield Project" and includes about 500 selected photographs, all taken in analog from 2004 to the present. The subjects include cities, architecture, landscapes, objects and people.

Couples

"Black" is a series photographed by Stefan May analog in black and white in 1998 in Munich, Germany.
The designation black and white becomes a theme here. The technical image composition is not based on different shades of gray, but is reduced to black and white as far as possible. The CD cover of the musician Seal, taken by the British photographer Nick Knight in 1994, served as inspiration. 

The content also follows the ductus of reduction, with the body alone as the expression of form, strength and grace, for which a female dancer from Paris and a male model from London were ideally suited with their physical means of expression.

 "In the exaggeration lies the view"

Black

Under the pseudonym "Lensfield" Stefan May has collected all his works, in which he chooses a completely different approach, that of the pure observer, no shot is staged, influenced by instructions or digitally manipulated.
The collection entitled "Reflections" is part of the "Lensfield Project" and includes about 100 selected photographs, all analog photographed since 1999. All kinds of reflections, whether by mirrors, water, glass or other materials are the starting point for photographs that can appear impressionistic, abstract and symbolistic, which sometimes also show expressive as well as surreal traits. The choice of motifs ranges from cities, landscapes, people to objects.

Reflections

In 1990, inspired by the Chaos Theory around Prof. Mandelbrot, numerous works were created with so-called fractals, which were created by a mathematical algorithm on the computer and combined with photographs through collages, projections and sandwiches. The Chaos Theory itself does not mean patterns alone, but also contains a whole philosophy that influenced the attitude towards life in the 90s. Until 1993, more works were created using projections and sandwich techniques that used other motifs, some were used for artist portraits or for CD covers of bands.
