THE CAMERA

LIGHT-PAINTING

IMAGO 1:1 is equipped with a light-painting optical device featuring a specially polished mirror structure of which only two specimens have ever been manufactured. This optical system projects a true-to-life 1:1 portrait onto a 60x200-cm-wide black-and-white direct positive paper.

In order to illuminate the subject with sufficient light intensity power is generated by eight flash-guns. In hundredths of seconds millions of photons are projected onto the photographic paper through a catadioptric system. Since the process does not generate any negative or digital copy, every imagogram is a unique specimen.

After a 10-minute-long analogue photo developing process, your portrait is ready.
