Film scanning
Alain Oguse learned photographic printing with Claudine and Jean-Pierre Sudre in the late 1960’s, and spent his early career in commercial photography. After retiring, he started to investigate how to bring back the photographic (silver halide) grain in digital scans of film negatives, finding the same sharpness and quality he had with near-point light enlargers in the 1970’s.
The point light printing technique uses a very tiny source of light that gives a very precise and detailed reproduction of B&W film negatives, as opposed to diffuse lighting.
