Description

What do Norwegian Black Metal, Zamboni driving and reenactment tintype photography have in common? They are all pursuits in the wheelhouse of our next guest, Dave Wilson, owner and wetplate photographer at Victorian Photographic Studio in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. We chat about how Dave stumbled into wetplate with no past experience in photography but was hooked after that first plate. Not only focused on Civil War reenactment photography, he also shares great insight into learning the process as a beginner, some of the pitfalls that new practitioners run into and shares ideas for some upcoming projects.
