Unbelievable depth and richness of tone.

Thank you

This is incredible. An intense and stunning portrait. What's really intriguing is the process used to create this image.

Thank you Hank. This is wet plate collodion photography process from 19th century.
If you Google it, you will find much information of the process.

Great shot!

Thank you

Hi Heikki , I am curious, how do you digitise the image?

Hi Mike, I digitise wet plates with scanner or dslr camera.

Thanks, I wondered if using a dslr would be subject to some limitation and lose something in translation.

Well, I use dslr scanning only to get web size images and it is ok for that, at least on my opinion😁.But it is limited compared to original.

Which leads me to conclude they must be even better to be seen in person. Thank you!

Wow! I love the intensity of the model's stare, and the way the texture of the medium mirrors the texture of his beard. Very powerful.

Thank you

Heck yeah. This is amazing. I love everything about this. Great job.

Thank you
