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.

My best attempt to organise my life

In this video I’m taking you through my system of organisation of my life. Or should we say through an attempt of organising my life. This vlog is not a tutorial, take it as an inspiration for you to study the system by yourself.

Linhof Technorama 6×17 / Waiting For the Sun / Vlog 123

In this vlog I’m waiting for the sun. I’ve learned a lot and what you’ve witnessed is how a new project is being formed. The images aren’t the project, but they are offering some solutions, pointing a direction to follow in my future work.

I’m off to Rome. This will be my first week of vacation this year. I love my work and as you can see, I am enjoying myself while working, so vacations are usually a burden for me. I might be the one who on his dead bed will regret not spend more time at work. Ha, ha, it’s funny, because it’s true. May the topshit be with you!

How to do wet plate collodion in the heat?

This vlog is about how to do wet plate process in the heat, at about 30C or 86F. Collodion ferries have done it again and I couldn’t provoke fogging with the heat. Nevertheless I hope this helps to some of you. If it does, perhaps you might decide to support the production of this kind of content by either buying a book of my art or by sending one time donation or by becoming my patreon.

Jumping with Kayak over waterfalls with a 10 kg camera case! EPIC FAIL! / Vlog #121

Jumping with Kayak over waterfalls with a 10 kg camera case! EPIC FAIL! / Vlog #121

Zdravo! In this episode I am learning how to jump with kayak on which I’ve installed 10 kg camera suitcase. It’s not the easiest, but persistence is my super-power, so I went back and learned how to make a recovery with the suitcase on board. I am going to the woodland this week and on the river.

Enjoy the summer and may the topshit be with you!

Darkroom Winch!

In this vlog I’m introducing a darkroom winch. My friend Oto Žan has an MA in engineering and he’s an expert in 3D printing. I’ve described him my wish, to have a darkroom winch that will rock my trays during processing prints. It took few versions of testing and this version of the darkroom winch proved to be the best one. It’s powerful enough to rock a big tray with 10 litres of water inside. More then enough. If it’s too much of the weight the wheel just slips and no harm done to the electric motor. The best part is that you can hack the winch and program it to change its speed and the height of the lift. It has two years of warranty.

Publishing a Photo-Book!

.
Ladies and gentleman,
I’ve pulled the leaver, thrown the dice, pushed the button, crashed the piggy bank, all that before I’ll kick the bucket. The printing process of my new book has started to roll and it’ll be working on it every day until it’s finished, presumably by the end of November 2019.

This is my first vlog in the series about the making of the book Light Mood. In this vlog I’m announcing the project and describing my concept and the basic thought processes how the photos were made and how I’m planning to approach the making of the book.

The pre-order of the book is available on my site:
https://www.borutpeterlin.com/shop/

Photobook / GRÉGORY DARGENT / Topsheet #74

¸
.
I’m back from Paris and of course I’ve been shopping. The secondhand video tripod and the rail was 250 EUR and those three books were 170 EUR. Photobooks are expensive, but if I would have to choose either photobooks or the video tripod, I would chosen photobooks, that’s for sure. It’s such a beautiful piece of object, a photobook, don’t you think? I see many layers in each photobook, photographs inside, a cover page, a graphic design, editing, a concept, the way story has been told, rhythm in the book, printing quality, paper, smell of the ink, how does it feel holding in hands, weight, surface texture,… I could go on whole day about the charm of a photobook.

The book featured in this 74th vlog is by GRÉGORY DARGENT.
