Wet Plate Collodion: Breaking All the Rules
S. Gayle Stevens

Center for Photography at Madison, 303 S. Paterson St., Madison, Wisconsin
October 17, 2012, 7:00 PM

S. Gayle Stevens is an award-winning contemporary photographer who has practiced and taught antiquarian photographic processes for 15 years.  Her presentation is on the wet plate collodion process, developed in 1851.  This process combined the sharpness of the daguerreotype with the capacity to make multiple prints with the original calotype process.  

Using a modified Holga, she produces small wet plate tintypes.   Gayle will give a brief history of the wet plate process and the work she produces with it.

This lecture is free and open to the public, and will be held at 7:00 PM at the CPM Studio located at 303 S. Paterson Street in Madison.
