Boogie has a new exhibit coming up at The Outsiders gallery in Newcastle. Up until now, the Serbian photographer almost exclusively shot outdoors in the streets of various big cities around the world. For Demons, however, he takes his camera indoors and used antique photography techniques to conjure forth a diabolical aspect from each of his modern-day subjects. The everyday people in his portraits – be they young, old, slick or shambolic – appear possessed by infernal dark forces. The show opens May 27th.

“I used a wet plate collodion process,” says Boogie. “It was amazing to feel like an alchemist, mixing chemicals and pouring plates in my tiny dirty basement. Thereʼs dust and dirt everywhere and temperature varies, so the results are unpredictable. After doing the first few plates, I realised that something about this process captures peoplesʼ darker side. So I named the series ʻDemonsʼ. Every picture was taken in Belgrade in late autumn and winter. It was grey and gloomy, the photo exposures were long, and you could see people going crazy trying to keep still and staring in the lens.”
