In the thesis titled “Photography on different materials” we encounter various alternative procedures, materials, techinques, emulsions, which can provide us with the desired result. Each method is unique and requires a certain amount of knowledge and research. In some cases not everything depends on the person and the person’s work, but often the environment influences the final result. In the first part of the thesis, we looked into the theoretical aspects, and that allowed us to dive into the experimental part. Some information can be gained from books and online, as well as from photographers, who had tried these techniques. Each conversation with them brought new insights but left unanswered questions, which we tried to answer later. Many results came out different than I had expected, so we repeated the procedures as many times as possible to find the best results. The purpose was to find new, alternative techniques, which are accessible to anyone who’s eager to try them. The task was combining various materials and emulsion and it was important to also include nature. We wanted to find techiques, which are interesting but not harmful. The goal was to find techniques that can be used at home without any special equipment and those that give us freedom and allow creative work. The essence of it all was exploring and creating – basically what makes our lives more beautiful, represents a challenge to us and makes us feel alive.
