My namne is Lasse and I work on a swedish folkhighschool. A schoolsystem which are unique for scandinavia. I have a course on 36 weeks in alternative
photography. The biggest part of the course is the copperphotogravureprocess which I worked with since 1987. We4 also use gumbichromate, van dyke, cyanotypi and so on..
For me this is a fascinating work and the course is the only course in the world in noncommercial photo. My students are often between 19 - 26 years old and what we doo is to exploring the language in picturemaking. From this
point of thewiew the students is going diffrent ways...
I just love picturemaking in diffrent styles.....

Good to know you Lasse. I also live in Sweden (Stockholm). I have been living in Stockholm since 1998 (I married a Swede) and despite the harsh winters and sometimes not so warm summers, I find the countryside and cities full of opportunities for making wonderful photos. Vi ses!

Welcome Lasse. I too experienced a lengthy course in alt.photography processes in Richmond with Terry King and we attempted to re-create the original process used by Niepce with bitumen of Judea. Very interesting experiments.

Welcome Lasse, good to have another alt printer on board....:)

Velkommen til APUG. Roligt med flere skandinavere.

Jo, velkommen til oss. Jeg gikk på folkehøyskole i norge.... det ver gøy. Kurset ditt høres spennende ut.

Hej og velkommen. The rest of my Danish is pitiful. Glad to have another scandihovian on board.

Hi Lasse. Welcome to APUG. Is your work published, btw? I seem to be familiar with your name from something I've seen recently. That's probably because my wife is about to dive headlong into copperplate photogravure (we've just gotten a custom made intaglio press..., now we have to build the UV light source and learn the 'ropes', though she's quite well schooled in printmaking) and I must have seen your name in connection with that process...(if I've seen it at all). Please post some work. We'll be eager to see it!!

Hej Lasse,

Really enjoyed your scans in the gallery.

ooops....yes, I missed the work already posted. extremely nice.

Welcome Lasse,
I must have been brain-dead and missed your posts, but am eager to view any new work you may post in the future.
Even tho I don't practice any alt processes, I do enjoy looking at them.
