About
Wet Plate Collodion Photography and me.
I have embraced the ethereal look, handmade process, and arcane yet simple materials of wet plate collodion photography.
From engineering my camera’s, mixing my chemistry, working with the elements and then, at last -together with my subjects- accomplishing works of art.I have been deeply impacted by this beautiful technique.

About the process
Wet Plate Collodion is the photographic process of pouring Collodion onto a plate of thin iron or glass, then exposing and developing that plate while it’s still wet. This process was the primary photographic method from the early 1850s until the late 1880s. It replaced paper negatives/Calotypes (Talbot) and Daguerreotypes (Louis Daguerre). There is a revival of the Wet Plate process due in large part to the ubiquity of digital photography and because of the unique Collodion “signature” and aesthetic.
