Collodian wet plate process photographer?

Just came across and wanted to share about a guy in the USA operating the old collodian process with his glass plate camera to produce his glass photo scenes ~ Beautiful. The internet is, of course, awash with photographers of varietal sorts amateur and professional. The link to said fellow's work is https://www.instagram.com/ian_ruhter/ and an additional Wikipedia link explains 'collodian process' here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collodion_process Thank you

N.B. And returning (08/07/2024) to edit my input here where you may not have had enough of photographers as alcamists what about this Chinese photographer's extraordinary monster collodion artistry ~ Astonishing. https://www.instagram.com/p/C9CQIpSxn4H/

  • Instagram is a useful tool to search out 'photographers' of all kinds. I see there's another fellow with his huge bellows camera engaged with 'wet plate collodian photography'. He operates a 'tour bus' decked out as his mobile darkroom. One needs to click through his numerous Instagram clips to gain a sense of his operational photography in the landscape. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cwpw3OXLLCh/
