What camera do you use?
I own many cameras, but my favourite ones are Mamiya C330, ShenHao 4x5" and Vageeswari 10x12".
What is your favourite filmstock?
I live half an hour drive from a Croatian Efke company, where they produced fine film by adox technology. They produced also film for Adox and Rollei brands. I love their 25 ISO film. They stopped producing film as of last year. Otherwise I make my own chemistry for wet plate collodion negative process. It's much more complicated than usual ambrotype or tintype process, but the quality is superior in context of tonality and resolution. Only one process is even better and that's the albumen negative process. It's really astonishing when you find out that the wet plate collodion process from 1851 is superior (resolution and tonality wise) to any kind of digital or film technology!
For the photos submitted, why are they your favourite?
I've submitted a portrait of my daughter barely swimming. It's my favourite film portrait since so much is going on out of the frame and that's increasing tension of the image. And I've submitted my favourite landscape image from a wet plate collodion negative, because it's so enchanting. Mysterious reality is emphasized with the process.
