Christian Lange

Christian Lange was born in Brussels in 1967. Already, in the 1950s, his father worked as a laboratory assistant in a photographic laboratory (Agfacolor Gevacolor). There he learned the techniques of color photography, which was just beginning to develop. At the same time, he strafed for his pleasure with a professional camera (a Zeiss Ikon with Tessar 3.5 lens 6x6 format and a Makina Plaubel with Triotar 2.8 lens 6x6 format): architecture, landscapes, geometric shapes that would have may have gone unnoticed by others.

He passes this passion on to his son. So in 1990, at the age of 23, he bought his first film camera. He uses it without counting. Eight years later, he dares to use digital technology, which is still in its infancy. Convinced of the performance and the quality rendered by this technique, he made it his own. From 1996 to the end of 1998, organizer of press trips for tour operators, he traveled mainly in the Mediterranean basin: Malta marked him, just like Italy and Turkey, without forgetting Tunisia, Spain or even the Portugal. He begins his discovery of colors: red, fuchsia, purple are the first to inspire him.
