“Important thing for me about wet-plate process is the uniqueness of the plates. All the little mistakes showing on the surface making the plate one-of-a-kind. The best thing still is the whole experience of photographing and being photographed.”
How she does it; “It involves using large format cameras with long exposure times and exposing images directly on glass. The glass plate is coated with collodion, sensitized in silver nitrate and exposed while still wet. The chemicals involved are all hand-mixed from scratch.”
