Amelie and Alchemy (http://vimeo.com/14231935)
More wet plate collodion goodness.
-
This is awesome, really like it! and the result is stunning...
One day I'll do wet collodion... I have to :)
-
yes, this is definitely on my list for the future...great stuff. mark sink does a lot of this now.
-
Great video. Thanks, Phil.
Sean: I think I started one of those pointless, circular discussions here about Mark Sink's wet plate work a year or two back. Let me dig it up. Anything that pointless is definitely worth a second go-round ;D ;D

Ah yes, here it is: http://www.filmwasters.com/forum/index.php?topic=2397.0 (http://www.filmwasters.com/forum/index.php?topic=2397.0)

woooaaaahh, respect, and such a beautiful result :o
-
I don't think I've met a collodion ambrotype I didn't like. Great find Phil! Thanks for sharing!
-
i really like this video!
-
I love the process, and I love the image, but I am most impressed that he got his little girl to hold still for so long. ;)
-
That's a really nice video... and so sweet too!
-
beautiful stuff
-
He knows his craft for sure!
-
I love W-C work. Not all the images tho. Went and saw Ms Mann's exhibition last year at the photographer's gallery and really didn't take to her work. As has been said before, it should be the image and not just that the practitioner is using an old process.

Completey agree. Love Sally Mann's Immediate family but struggle with Deep South, All That Remains and some of her portraits. Check out Quinn Jacobsons work - a man that has gone beyond the process.
-
Carl, damn fine work - thank you for the recommendation!
-
Thanks for the video, Phil. Fantastic.
You know you're in the deep end of the pool when your next camera purchase has a truck as an accessory. :D
The result he achieved is excellent. Oh and I enjoyed watching the cooler roll down the hill. Patience. ;)

Carl: A very nice summary of my own reaction to the Sally Mann show and our subsequent discussions her eon the forum last year. Thanks also for the tip re the 'new' guy. I'm already looking forward to checking out his oeuvre (ahem!). :)
Andrea: Ditto. Shame we couldn't meet up when you wuz down here.
J_Warden: I loved your comment about the truck. Too true!! :D On the 'kids as models' front (something I know you're used to) I find it a stretch taking pics of my kids with my 4x5 field camera (actually it's a challenge taking them with my camera phone sometimes); doing something like this falls under the 'ninja photography' category, but I'd like to see him do it with more than one child. In my experience, two kids are exponentially more difficult to corral than one...and I'm sure some here will say that two are easier to deal with than three....and so on. Anyway, it was still very funny watching the all-too-familiar interplay between photographer and child. And on that tack, there's no question in my mind that Amelie deserves as much credit for the final image as her Dad.
-
I have to say, the more I watch footage such as this the more I want do it!
-
I'm going to disagreeable for once. I felt a bit uncomfortable watching him work like that. There was something slightly desperate about it that ruined the viewing of the final image. The results of the process do look beautiful but the real process of him overtly directing a bored child was a mildy disturbing. Kids can be enough of a handful without adding in a truck and the photographic equivalent of a hot potato.
-
Great video ! Thanks for sharing.
I don't know if this photographer was already discussed on the board, but here it is again :
Surfer portraits by Joni Sternbach (http://www.jonisternbach.com/gallery_surfers.html) I'm not sure if it exactly the same process, but the results look also amazing with the same quality.
-
Woooa, Joni Sternbach "surfland" set is incroyable!!! Beauuutiful.

I could get boring :)
-
Ok, I've changed my mind after looking at all of these gorgeous images by all these wet plate photogs. I have got to try this.
-
Ok, maybe not. The chemicals are scary!!!!

really like those collodian images...

Incredible work.... :o
-

What process uses selenium? And yeah, I still want to try it even though it might kill me. I found an excellent link to write up on how to start the process. That and my Christopher James book will give me a place to start I think. I can at least get some ideas on the materials I will need and maybe start getting them little by little.

Nail. Head. Hit.
This is why I suggested that Amelie deserves some of the credit, but I agree 100% when you say you found it mildly disturbing, Dad :D
