              Ian Ruhter Shoots Inspiring People With an Enormous Wet Plate Setup

              We’ve featured Ian Ruhter before: his Silver and Light series was an incredible display of talent, ingenuity and originality. I’m glad to say that he’s back at it again, this time criss-crossing the country, telling the stories of inspiring people with his portable darkroom setup. Watch as Ian shoots Madison, a young girl who overcame some serious setbacks, and creates a series of incredible portraits using his custom made (very large format) camera which is built into the back of a box van.

                Ian, thank you for the inspiration – you make me want to throw my cameras in a lake. This is true art.
