Before there was digital, there was film.
Before there was film, there was Wet Plate Collodion.

A process heavily practiced from the 1850’s to 1880’s – Wet Plate Collodion involves hand-coating a piece of glass or metal with a viscose solution called Collodion.
The plate is then dipped into a bath of liquid Silver Nitrate rendering it light-sensitive and ready for exposure.
The plate is then placed into the back of a large format camera, the picture is taken, and the plate is returned to the darkroom for processing while the coating is still wet.

Plates have a haunting yet luminous quality, and each plate is totally unique.
