Photographer Boogie says of his recent project, “I’ve recently started experimenting with wet plate collodion process. It was really amazing to feel like an alchemist, connected to past times, mixing chemicals and pouring plates in my tiny dirty basement. There is dust and dirt everywhere and temperature varies, so the results are unpredictable. After doing the first few plates, I realized that something about this process captures people’s darker side so I named the series DEMONS. The whole series was done in Belgrade in late Fall and Winter, it was gray and gloomy, exposures were long, and you could see people going crazy trying to keep still and staring in the lens.” To see more of Boogie’s work click here.

“When the Carmichael Gallery contacted me about doing a show, they were at first surprised by my initial selection … it didn’t include any of the images that people are used to seeing from me, like gangs, drugs and other hardcore stuff. It was a selection of totally new work mostly of normal day-to-day life, and much of it in color. After years and years of shooting only b&w film, I started seeing images in color some time last year, and it opened up a whole new world for me. After going back and forth with the gallery, we came up with a final selection which we called The Uncovering. It’s a pretty apocalyptic series, but I think it really represents the new me.” – Boogie. To see more of his work click here.
