In Greek mythology, Muse referred to any one of the nine daughters of Mnemosyne and Zeus, each of whom presided over a different art or science. Muse in modern day terms refers to a guiding spirit or a source of inspiration.

The kind people at NUDE magazine have sent the latest issue to press and it will be available during the next days. I’m very pleased to announce that one of my muses, Candace Nirvana, is published in the summer/fall issue of Carrie Leigh’s NUDE magazine, having a special “MUSE Feature”.

She really deserves the designation of a poetic muse, as she adds the complementary to my ideas and visions, making them one of a kind visual poems.

As far as I am informed, the NUDE editors picked 3-4 pieces of my work with Candace, among many other outstanding images from her collaboration with other artists.

Thank you!

This event might be interesting for those who always wanted to know more about my photography, my style and workflow. I’ll be giving an insight in the artsy-fartsy world of VT as well as presenting some “old fashioned” printing techniques.

Also there will be presentations held by other 6 photographers, covering panorama, people/portrait, wedding, product and landscape/city photography.

An “all-in-one” event, so to speak.

The event will take place October 30th, 2010 at

Luminanz GmbH Saarbrücken
Quartier Eurobahnhof
Lützelbachstr. 13
66113 Saarbrücken
Germany

Grab your spot!

The March issue contains a special called “my nude” and it’s published once per year (every March).

There is also an interview and some insights in the dark room, documenting the “birth” of a wet plate collodion image (press play in the slideshow box presented to the right of the page) with new collodion work as well as some older wet plate images which I did last year.

The interview is in german language :) Enjoy.

I have attended the live event via web last night and it was like sitting in front of the TV watching the lottery *g*

Nominated in “Nude” category: “Curb” with Kat Love

Nominated in “Still Life” category: “(/)”

Great work has been submitted overall and the nominees, as well as the winner get all my admiration and congratulation to their achievement.

Here’s the link to the event: Black and White Spider Awards

The anniversary issue of Carrie Leigh Nude Magazine, which is going to be in stores from November 15th 2009, will contain a selection of my work.

Don’t miss the issue, order your copy!

After a long journey, spanning 4 countries and 22 locations during a period of almost 12 months, my exhibition collection arrived safely back home with no damages or any losses.

30 images, matted and framed, each one 100cm on the long side.

It’s really nice to have them back, but pretty soon they will be on the road again… this time more east :)
