Collodion wet plate<br />
Collodion wet plate<br />
Titel: Broken dreams | Format: 19 x 43 cm | Technic: Platin/Palladium | Material: Aquarelle paper<br />
In 1851, the Englishman Frederick Scott Archer discovered that collodion could be used as an<br />
alternative to albumen on glass plates.<br />
This also reduced the exposure time when making the image. This became known as the wet<br />
plate Collodion. Collodion was also grainless and colorless, and allowed for one of the first high<br />
quality duplication processes, also known as negatives. This process also produced positives<br />
they are called Ferrotypes. The whole process is done in a matter of minutes, which means<br />
that the photographer has to carry the chemicals with him wherever he goes and a darkroom<br />
is needed.
