In this engaging talk, Geoffrey Berliner explores the art of "Frankensteining" cameras – combining parts from different systems to create unique tools for analog and hybrid photography.
From large format and medium format to 35mm and digital cameras, Geoffrey will discuss what inspires these unconventional builds, the practical and creative advantages they offer, and the challenges involved in making them work. He will share a variety of custom camera and lens combinations he uses regularly, along with the photographs created with them, offering insight into how inventive modifications can expand your creative vision.
Whether you're a seasoned tinkerer, a film photography enthusiast, or simply curious about the idea of “Frankensteining” cameras, join us to see how a little ingenuity can transform the way you make photographs.

More about the presenter ⤵️
Geoffrey Berliner is a NYC professional photographer and artist working primarily with analog and historical photographic processes. Much of his work is portraiture made using the 19th century wet plate collodion process. Berliner's main interest is the history of photography, especially the history of photographic technology, lenses, cameras and process. Much of his work is made using vintage gear in a contemporary practice, with the goal of maintaining the relevance of analog / historic processes. Berliner brought his passion for photography by founding and directing a nonprofit photographic arts organization from 2007 to 2024 to support photographers and artists through education, residencies, exhibits, lecture series, youth programs, darkrooms and many other programs.
