The fascination of the analogue image

Photographic techniques and materials

What do we still use analog photography for in a time when digital photography is already so sophisticated?

What can analog photography do that digital photography cannot?

The book "The Fascination of the Analogue Image" by Ulrike Mayrhuber deals with analogue photography techniques in a contemporary context and showcases their materiality in a portrait series.
