Woodyman Camera

OUR HISTORY

The birth of the project

The Woodyman 8×10 was born from a passion shared by two friends for large format photography and from an observation

“Large format 8×10 cameras are unique tools, of incomparable quality and which offer impressive possibilities. But the financial investment to launch into this photographic format is still far too great. Even on the second-hand market, it is rare to find good ones. Old things and rooms are often cumbersome.”

From this observation was born the Woodyman Project with the idea of trying to democratize the large 8×10 format by offering new and bright rooms at affordable prices!

Why keep the practice of full format?

Large format photography has produced the most important and beautiful images ever created!

Between the 1930s and 1950s, pioneers like Ansel Adams and Edward Weston brought back, with their cameras, the most breathtaking shots of landscape photography.Even with the advent of the digital age, large format photography has survived thanks to the incomparable possibilities it offers and its unequaled quality of definition.
Today, the best digital sensors do not make it possible to reach the resolutions of large format film shots (beyond the 4×5 format).This wonderful process more than a century old continues to attract new passionate photographers today.Making this format more accessible means helping and helping to bring it to life!Living in a beautiful and big world with beautiful and big pictures.
