Step into the world of 19th-century photography, with wet plate photographer, David Rambow, as he introduces the collodion process, an early photographic method that produces one-of-a-kind images on metal or glass using silver nitrate and light. Blending historical artifacts with live demonstration, Rambow walks viewers through each step of the wet plate process. The result is a deeper appreciation for the deliberate craft, physical materials, and enduring beauty of this historic process, offering a striking contrast to today’s fast-paced digital world.
This presentation is perfect for anyone who enjoys photography.
