In the summer of 1974, Ruff acquired his first camera and after attending an evening class in the basic techniques of photography he started to experiment, taking pictures similar to those he had seen in many amateur photography magazines. In his studio between 1981 and 1985 Ruff photographed 60 half-length portraits in the same manner. Passport-like images with the upper edge of the photograph situated just above the hair, even lighting, the subject between 20 and 25 years old, taken with a 9 x 12cm negative, and without motion blur due to flash.
