~VICTORIAN WETPLATE COLLODION~
The collodion process is credited to Frederick Scott Archer, in 1851. The collodion process requires the photographic material (usually glass or aluminium) to be coated in collodion, sensitised in a bath of silver nitrate, exposed and developed within the span of about ten minutes.
​
The process is incredibly technical and is reputed to be the most difficult photography process to practice, currently with only 1000 active artists in the world. I use exactly the same methods, chemicals, and cameras as when the process was first invented. If you visit the studio for a portraiture session, you will have the opportunity to see your portrait appear within the chemicals when I develop it before your eyes in the darkroom.
