VISITING ARTIST WORKSHOP
WET PLATE COLLODION:
RELIVING THE FUTURE |
Todd Vinson |
| Course Description |
| This four-day, intensive hands-on workshop will introduce students to the mid-19th century photographic process called wet plate collodion with a contemporary twist. Students will create images on glass (ambrotypes) and metal (tintypes) using both modern and vintage photographic equipment (provided). Each step of the process will be taught from basic operation of a large format collodion camera, to preparing, exposing, developing, and varnishing a plate. How the collodion process sees light differently than film or digital will be demonstrated. The modern twist is that students will also be introduced to making fine art digital prints from their collodion plates. Along the way, students will gain an appreciation for the history of photography as they create one-of-a-kind, three-dimensional almost sculptural objects and learn how to reproduce their images digitally. This approach uniquely converges the best of the old and new from several centuries of photographic technology into a single workshop experience.
