A New Earth Project / vlog#96
In this episode of the vlog, I’ve spend five days in the middle of the woodlands, on the hill with the name Far Away Hill (Daleč hrib), Kočevski rog in Slovenia.
In the following episodes I’ll talk more about the concept and the aesthetic of the project, but in this vlog, I wanted to be simple, focused on the beauty, no spoken words.
But here are few pointers for better understanding of my art. Inspired by the work of Ana Mendieta, I perform sort of rituals in the nature, using my body and 170 year old process called wet plate collodion photography. Huge inspiration is also the book of Eckhart Tolle, A New Earth.
Thank you for your attention, may the Topshit be with you!

An Albumen Print from an Ultra Large Format Collodion negative / vlog #92
.
In this vlog I’ve made an albumen prints from collodion negatives, I’ve made in the past vlogs. I’ve experienced contamination of my prints and I’m suspecting that the albumen didn’t prevent the contact of silvernitrate with the base paper. The matter of more future tests. I’ve also tried to make a carbon print, but DAS sensitiser has a horrible tonal threshold in highlights, so I wasn’t satisfyed with the carbon print. In the future I’ll make a multilayered carbon print, to get a pleasing result throughout the tonality of the print.

Collodion test / Which one is the best? / E:78
.
In this vlog I’m breaking a myth about contrast in collodion photography. It does not exist. You can make whatever contrast you like with (almost) whatever collodion. Less exposure more development will cause higher contrast and vice versa. In Film photography the same principle is known as pull / push process in the film developing stage.
PS: sorry, I forgot to check my audio levels.
My favourite collodion is Osterman’s standard collodion
4ml of water
3 gr of CdBr2
4 gr of KI
140 ml of alcohol
140 ml ether
220 Collodion 4% USP quality

Paper Negative Experiment / Vlog #49
.
Dear followers,
the results from this experiment has surprised me. I’ve used old compact camera, Kodak Folding Brownie 3A and silver-gelatin paper as a negative. On the end I’ve got this amazing print that I’m also listing on eBay. I’m sorry for not containing my excitement, but I’m an artist, I’m allowed to do that. Anyway even if you are not an artist, I hope you will like this vlog. I’ve been working on it for the whole week, but I think it was worth it.
I’ve listed the print on eBay and the listing is in two options, with or without the mat. The print is in both cases the same quality.
Please share with me your experience with paper-negative and if you have some suggestions what should be the theme of my future vlogs, please share that too.
Thank you for watching and helping me spreading topshit across the world!
PS: I’ve took down the EBay listing. I’ve changed my mind, it’s not on sale.
How much does Wet Plate Collodion cost?
.
In this vlog I’m shedding new light onto the myth that the wet plate collodion process is a very expensive hobby. It can be, but it doesn’t have to be. In the end I haven’t done all the maths, but I reckon that with 300 EUR you can buy the Brownie, tripod and all the chemistry to make 50 plates or more. THX!

Vienna workshops / Topshit Photography Vlog #38

Scusa, I’ve been away for a long time. I’ve took kids to Paris for a week then I had workshops in Vienna. The group workshop was organised by http://www.zigutamve-photography.at/ and then I had two private workshops.
Now I’m moving my atelier and designing furniture for it. Totally hipped with the project and I am going to include all the knowledge I have in the interior design of the atelier. And of course I’m going to share it with you!
Thank you for watching! Subscribe, share, like, leave a comment, but nevertheless, please do not forget… Topshit happens!

Exhibition in Vienna / Topshit Photography Vlog #36
Life takes time, I tell you! This vlog is quite eclectic from posting books, fixing my car, making some albumen prints, having exhibition opening in Vienna and most importantly, having fun with kids!
In my following week I’m getting new atelier. It’s going to be topshit indeed! It’s going to be at a railway station! 50 meters from beautiful river bank and I’m planning to have one or two wagons in front of it. The wagons will be a gallery space. On top of that our house is about to be sold, so I will buy a cottage in woodland.
That and lots more in the next episode of Topshit Photography Vlog!

New work from “Feels Like Home” project
Dear followers,
As you will notice, this video took me very long time to complete. Except the outro footage in the atelier, I’ve made it already a week ago, but it took me quite a while to finish it. Well, it’s here and I’m very satisfied with it. Video is a new medium for me and I am glad to receive a feedback from close friends, who have seen it unfinished, that they felt the peace that is the topic of my photography. I hope you will too. Leave a comment and subscribe to my YouTube channel, my FB page, my Instagram and this blog, of course!
Because Topshit does happen!!!!
