Family wet collodion portrait
WET COLLODION PORTRAITS FOR AURELIE AND HER FAMILY
THE PROCESS
- Session took about 2.5h, plates were shot in my studio garden and processed ‘on the spot’ after each shot 
- Shoot It resulted in 3 wet collodion plates on the black painted 4mm glass, 8x10inches in size. 
- Plates were scanned and scans delivered 
- After the photoshoot plates had to be varnished for protection and varnish took a week to dry after which point they were ready to be handed over. 
OUTCOMES
With exposures ranging between 3-7 seconds photographing younger children can be a challenge as it requires the sitters to stay still. With patience, imagination and help of Aurelie and her partner we managed to achieve shot without too much movement.
