Wet Plate Collodion

Wet Plate Collodion experiments- Quarter plate with adapters.

You would think that having two weeks off would mean that I had lots of opportunities to get out and do some personal work. Nope. I currently still have 24 assignments to go read and mark and paperwork to prepare for my upcoming lesson observations in two weeks. Continue Reading →

Three Point Four Photography Exhibition in Peterborough

My 12 first year photography students are in preparation for their first major exhibition in June. As part of their campaign I shot a series of Analog location portraits that will be used as promotional head shots.

All images were taken with a combination of FP4 and ADOX CHS 100 film developed in Caffenol for 1-2 hours.

First year photography students iPhone fashion shoot.

As part of my continuing development of my first year photography students I recently delivered them an iPhone photography assignment. The brief was very open, allowing them creative freedom to approach it any way they liked. The only rule was no manipulation outside of the phone. Any apps could be used, either alone or in combination, but all editing must be done within the camera phone, no photoshop allowed. I have yet to see the final submissions, but from what i have seen in the group critiques, I cannot wait too see the final portfolios! Here is a behind the scenes film from Glenn’s fashion shoot. Credit to the filming goes to Sarah Kathleen Page.

Teaching should be fun and this group really make my job worthwhile.

I have had so much success with this group in only a few short months of teaching them. 3 award winners, 3 published in National magazine and 1 featured as an inspirational student by the local press! If they keep working as hard as they do then there is no limit to what they can achieve in the two years on the course.

This group of 12 first year students embody the approach of being a young emerging professional. Their first year exhibition will be held later this year and I have a feeling it’s going to be something special.

A few of my favourite images I took of them for the project 12/12

Another great behind the scenes film from Sarah Kathleen Page.

For the last few weeks I have been running one day location portrait Analog photography workshops in Peterborough. As part of the delivery I encourage all students to start using the video capabilities of there digital SLR camera’s. Sarah has fully embraced this idea and is shooting regular films of her own as well as behind the scenes footage of the workshops. Take a look at her film then head on over to her website.

The Morning After

New Years Day wet plate collodion portrait.

New year day was supposed to be bright and sunny with a dash of uv. Unfortunatly it turned out to be a bit of a wet squid, not the best weather for an outdoor wet plate collodion shoot. I suppose I could have set up in the studio with the intermit lights but to be honest we had already started hitting the cocktails and so once I had set everything up we sort of ran out of steam. So with a grim over cats day resulting in a 15 second exposure I exposed a single plate and then settled into an afternoon of telly and cocktails with my old mate richard.

Here is the plate. Taken with the new 8 inch Taylor & Hobson brass lens at f4.5 on the Tachihara full plate camera with the half plate back.

Its a lovely brass lens that now sits in-between my Dallmeyer and the Goerz red dot.
