Description
In this episode, I have the pleasure of sitting down with one of the veterans of the modern day collodion movement.  Jody Ake was getting into the process in the late 90's when information was scarce and practicing wetplate photographers were even harder to find.  While working on his Master's thesis, Jody challenged himself to learn this vintage process after being inspired at the library and delved into the ethers to capture dark portraits reflecting the mortality of one's self. His photographic expertise goes beyond wetplate as he uses many alternative printing processes to capture landscapes, portraits and still-life subjects. Listen in and discover how Jody's recent work incorporates computer generated images into these old printing methods.
