My book is published! A chapter of life is closed.

Vlog 138

I sincerely thank you, my dear followers.
I’ve been a photographer all my life, I’ve studied photography at the best colleges (FAMU, Prague and LCP, London) and took workshops from the greatest masters of our time (Martin Parr, Duane Michals, Zizola, Stephen Gill, Paul Graham, Calvin Grier, Mark Osterman,…). I even worked for a year also with Oliviero Toscani at Fabrica and James Mollison was my roomate. Olivia Arthur / Magnum was my classmate at LCP. Anyway, what I want to say is to shout from the top of my lungs, I’ve published the new book! And this book consists of everything that I know about photography and it tells the story about the path I was on for the past two years.

The book will be hardbound and it is available as a pre-order for another week. The purchase is possible through my website at https://www.borutpeterlin.com/shop/

Publishing my 3rd Art Book!

Dear readers,
I’m so proud to announce the publication of my 3rd art book! The followers of my channel saw me working on the project A New Earth in the last three years. Now the grand finale is coming in just 20 days. On the 25th of May 2022 I will have an exhibition opening with 35 carbon prints 40x50cm (16×20″) in oak frames 70x80cm (28×30″) plus my third art book will be published. The exhibition opening is on the 25th of May 2022 at 19h in Dolenjski muzej, Novo mesto, Slovenia. You are all invited!

The book can be pre-ordered with a really friendly price of 40 EUR on the link: https://www.borutpeterlin.com/shop/sh…

Very important: In the book I will express my gratitude to all my patrons and the buyers of my prints, because without their support it would be much more difficult to make my vision happen.

I was a guest at The United Art Gallery

Dear readers, followers and supporters,
Markus Hofstätter is a fellow wet plate photographer from Vienna and he runs a project The United Art Gallery, promoting wet plate photographers and their work. I was a guest on his podcast Behind The United Art Gallery.

Thank you Markus!
