19th Century Wet Collodion Photography From Scratch
I spend the afternoon with CJ Harker at the new space for the Halide Project in Philadelphia making wet collodion photographs in pretty much the same manner as they did 150 years ago - by making up the chemistry from scratch, prepping all the materials, and showing every step to completing a real wet collodion photograph with a real 19th century camera. The photos are shot and developed in real time in this video, and we fill the time between steps discussing the history, chemistry, and techniques of this very fascinating historical photographic method.
