THE PERFECT COFFEE CIRCLE

Analog series about coffee - developed in coffee

This project is about Coffee, using coffee as the medium to develop the photographs.

I began experimenting with alternative developing method called Caffenol in 2024, as a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional darkroom B&W chemicals. Usually made with instant coffee, I wanted to explore further, testing it with real coffee beans.

My approach is to document the coffee culture in Germany and beyond, If you want to be part of this project please reach out. Thanks everyone who already took part.

Concept and photography by me, including developing, scanning and postproduction.
