Gabriel Matula
Prague - New York
"I started searching for what I call '¨The Perfect Hybrid' back in 2018, when I came across a bunch of unconventional vintage lenses while doing some research. I wanted to synthesise the vintage look and feel of analog photography with the advantages of modern technology. High Dynamic Range and the flexibility of RAW files being used with modern editing software helped me achieve this. After my first experiments, I started cooperating with Capture One Pro, and later I directly started applying this technique in my work for the advertising industry. Always in between lifestyle photography and fashion, 'The Perfect Hybrid' is now an established part of my skill set."
