After my return to Germany I started experimenting with a single-lens reflex camera and an own darkroom, where I developed my negatives and exposed the prints myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The transition to digital photography was a complete game changer for me. I appreciate the experience of the analogue era &#8211; but I love the possibilities of the digital world, especially the digital post-processing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls loop muted src=\"https:\/\/2tough4u.com\/IMG_6852.mp4\" playsinline><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I would like to show you a few examples of my work &#8211; have fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video autoplay loop src=\"https:\/\/axel-sobottka.photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Signature.mp4\" playsinline><\/video><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi, I&#8217;m Axel Sobottka.
