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.

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 :)

Back from testing and shooting that took place two weeks ago, I could not wait too long until developing the new film. I was curious like a cat how the images would come out. A really BIG surprize and much better than expected.

I have tested the Rollei Universal 200, a black&white medium format film manufactured by Rolleifilm (http://www.rolleifilm.com) under conditions I normally use to take my pictures, including lots of structures, harsh light and deep shadows, using reflective clothes fabric and also a huge red scarf to test the red sensivity of the film.

What I can say now is, that the film honors the right exposure/metering with an immense amount of details and fine gradients from pure white to deep blacks.

I’m going to write a review with example images pretty soon, but for now I just wanted to leave these lines here and praise the film as my new film for the next shootings.

Have a great weekend, take care,

Vernon Trent

It is the dream of every photographer when renowned film manufacturer invite one to test their new products.

I am invited to test a brand new product release and the best is, that there is no restriction or a given roadmap for the test.
Just doing it my way, with my style and my visions with tons of film at no costs.

The test will be accompanied by a journalistic article and will be published worldwide.

I’m looking forward to the test and also to having a good session with 5 models at a very cool location. YAY!

I went yesterday to the gas station and had a quick look at the newsapaper stand while I was waiting for my tank to fill up. I saw the new issue of Stern View, best pics of the month and found the above shot published.

Stern View – April 2009 Issue

I felt pretty much excited because is one of my favorite shots I did with Madame Bink. Besides of that, the shot was also chosen as “Nude Image of the Day” at One Model Place.

You guys have a good start in the week.

Cheers,
VT
