PHOTOGRAPHY SUMMER SESSION 6
JULY 30–AUGUST 11, 2023
Monty McCutchen
Wet-Plate Collodion
Students in this workshop will learn to use a historic photographic process to interpret the modern world using a visual syntax unlike any other. We’ll work with large-format cameras of various sizes and explore the full gamut of wet-plate collodion positives: tintypes, alumitypes, and ambrotypes. We’ll cover view camera use, mixing chemistry, pouring successful plates, exposure, development, hand coloring, and varnishing. Working with still-life, portraiture, and landscape imagery will give students access to a full range of expression. All levels.
Note: the studio fee for this workshop is estimated at $250 per student.
