Description

In this season's finale of Tin Questions, I get to sit down with a chemist turned wetplater turned wetplate chemical supplier, Brian Cuyler. Starting out in collodion at the beginning of the recent renaissance period, Brian used his background in chemistry to investigate some of the historical recipes that we all use and tweak them to produce collodions specialized for different situations. Seeing a gap in the market for these craft collodions, Brian started his own wetplate chemical supply business, UV Photographics. Listen in and hear why you should always "Respect the Chemistry!"

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.
