After a small break I decided to pick up my wet plate collodion practice. With the help of my hero René Smets (Collodion master and builder of gorgeous cameras) we made some new images in and around my atelier and home.
Square collodion reflex camera. Réne has built this amazing camera from scratch

Shooting with the historical Sanderson Instantograph
We even made a daguerrotype. It’s such a precious little object. Although the exposure wasn’t completely spot-on, I am very happy to have witnessed up close this breathtaking, but extremely labour intensive technique.
