Alexandr Boguslavskii started doing photography at eight years old. Starting with the simplest soviet photo camera “Smena 8M”, he advanced to more professional ones – “Zenit-TTl” and Canon EOS 33. Taking pictures on film, Alexander mastered the technique of hand printing. Later, having worked with digital cameras, he decided to return to film cameras. In 2016 Alexander enrolled in the author’s course of the photographer Sergey Romanov, where he got acquainted with the technology of making ambrotypes. It opened before him fundamentally new opportunities. Now he mostly uses a 8″x10″ Calumet C1 camera (Tne Green Monster) with an Emil Busch Anastigmat 5.5 / 255 mm lens. Alexander Boguslavski continues to shoot with the long range FED-3 and Canon EOS 6D, but most of the time he spends in the studio, making ambrotypes.
