Description

Have you ever had a subject that seemed too big to capture in a way that accurately showed the scale and majesty of how it truly exists? My next guest had a big dream that started with a chance finding of a 1907 ultra large format camera - weighing in at 70kg and 2 meters long, this "baby" camera was just what was needed to kickstart a dream project, pulling a well known videographer into the world of collodion. Growing up in the shadows of the Dolomites in northern Italy, Kurt Moser started big and stayed big, taking 24" by 24" landscape and portrait ambrotypes with his newly found camera and the help of his production partner, Barbara Holzknecht. Listen in as Kurt talks about the challenges of large scale photography using the collodion process in the mountains and in his quaint Italian atelier.

Have an interest in modern day wetplate collodion photography? Chad Shryock, tintype artist at Porkpie Photography, sits down with contemporaries in this photographic process that was widely used from 1850 until the 1880s. After spending over 100 years on the back burner, photographers all over the world are getting into sloshing collodion and slinging tin. Each episode will introduce a current practitioner of the process and discuss why they decided to join this growing group of folks, talk about their photographic gear and other insights into the process.
