Kendy Almy is an outdoors and travel enthusiast and a healthy and tremendous respect for nature, conservation, and the environment. My goal is to create simple, structured, and calm images of nature. I absolutely love working with medium and large format film because of the inherent limitation, and the strong sense of discipline that is required. These limitations help to shape the final image by giving me a sense of direction.

The camera

​

I mainly work with medium and large format analog cameras. I mostly work with a Hasselblad 500C/M and Carl Zeiss lenses. This medium format camera takes 12 square format (6x6) exposures per film roll, allowing me great freedom when working.

For those scenes with a lot of detail, which need to be exposed as accurately as possible, I use a 4x5 large format camera made by Shen Hao. This camera, in addition to the inherent quality of a larger negative, allows me to fine-tune the focus and geometry of the scene. Many of the latest landscape photos I have taken with this camera. As for the optics, I usually use different focal lengths depending on the scene, but mainly 90, 150 and 210 mm lenses, all of them of great sharpness and quality.
