Jakob Kähler is a photograper who specialises in a now all but unknown format – double exposed film. He uses traditional film cameras to capture an initial image of a subject, then rewinds the film one frame while keeping the previous shot in mind, he then lines up a second shot to layer over the first.
Kähler tends to prefer working with classic cars, and many of his works are captured on a secret annual drive through the Alps with 60+ of the world’s leading car designers – from Volkswagen to Bugatti. Typically the art of the double exposure has been lost due to the ease creating the effect in Photoshop – so it’s great to see people like Jakob keeping the traditional art form alive.
Ben has had his work featured on CNN, Popular Mechanics, Smithsonian Magazine, Road & Track Magazine, the official Pinterest blog, the official eBay Motors blog, BuzzFeed, and many more.
Silodrome was founded by Ben back in 2010, in the years since the site has grown to become a world leader in the alternative and vintage motoring sector, with millions of readers around the world and many hundreds of thousands of followers on social media.
