Rashod Taylor
Wet-Plate Photography
Take your photography technique back to the 1850s while adding a fun and creative dimension to your contemporary practice as you discover the wet-plate collodion process in this dynamic workshop. We will start by understanding the history, chemistry, tools, and safety practices of the process. Then we will explore the different applications of wet-plate collodion by making tintypes, ambrotypes, and glass negatives. We will work in several formats including 4 x 5 and 8 x 10 using large-format cameras plus 2-1/4 x 2-1/4 plates made with plastic Holga cameras. We will also spend time in the darkroom making silver prints from our glass-plate negatives. The emphasis of this workshop will be process, troubleshooting, and getting comfortable with the wet-plate collodion process. All levels.
