This image was captured by shooting a glass plate negative via the wet plate collodion process using a camera from 1890. This image consists of handpoured collodion film on a glass plate which was then sensitized, exposed, and developed all while standing waist deep in the Mississippi swamp. This image was developed on location using a dark box that was floating in a small boat along side the camera.
Please note that this is a digital copy of an original hand poured ambrotype. Only minimal adjustments have been made to keep with the charm and aesthetic of the original ambrotype.
Frame not included.
