Michael Schnabel
This is your second impossible exhibition with an instant film that improved since then.
What was your second shot with this new film ?
I was very much planning on shooting color as always, yet the film didn't suit the concept I was pursuing.
Did you change/adapt your way of working ?
This made me change my approach and switch to black and white. The film has potential to be beautiful but I found it impossibly unpredictable. I had to change my approach again and again.
Which part or not did you enjoy shooting with this film ?
It has it's ups and downs, trying to work with this film. This instant film can bring some magic to the images and subjects. It's a bit of a love/hate relationship.
What's next ?
I am hoping the "bugs" will be eliminated soon and the film will be more controllable and predictable.

He never forgot his artistic passion, which would provide him prestigious awards.
Born in Neunkirchen (Germany) in 1966, Michael Schnabel moved to San Francisco (California) at the age of 25, after having learnt photography in Germany.
But in 1995, he decided to get back to were he once belonged, becoming a professional photographer in Stuttgart, Germany, where he still lives today.
At first, he focused upon commercial contracts (with Hyundai, SAP, HSBC, Jeep...) but he never forgot his artistic passion, which would provide him prestigious awards (AOP Gold, ADC Gold, Communication Arts) and even reached the recent list of the 200 best photographers in the world. His numerous exhibitions (not only in Europe) contribute, with the interest of many magazines, to his great success both sides of the ocean.
