Bob Gingher’s passion for photography goes back to the time his grandmother presented him with a “Kodak” for his tenth birthday circa 1955. In the mid-1970s he put together his own darkrooms at work and home, specifically for product and portrait photography respectively. Primary instruments in those days were a Hasselblad and a wonderful Schneider darkroom print lens in a Besseler enlarger which served as a camera for “painting-with-light” product work. These days he works with a digital “lightroom” in a home studio, with Leica, Nikon and Olympus cameras, Photoshop CS3, a variety of photo software, and a HP Z3100 archival pigment printer tailored to producing “the luminous print.”
