Emma, 8x10" glass plate
glass plate portraits
I am reviving a historic photographic process called 'Wet Plate Collodion'. Originally practised in the 1850s, it was one of the first methods of photography to be discovered.
Using period cameras and hand-poured chemistry, I create portraits on glass. Each photograph is a unique work of art, filled with timeless character & beauty. It is a completely physical process; there is no digital manipulation, no scan, print or enlargement. Every image is the original piece, exposed in camera and developed immediately.
This work deserves to be viewed in person, however you can find digital copies below:
