1) Btw, this is more complex than what you see on the video. The video speaks mainly of the
collodion part.
Lawrence\'s images were shot in medium format film and scanned and then placed in film again,
this time with a specific light curve to match the light parameters that work best in collodion. I
am truly hybrid and can move between formats and digital to analogue to collodion to anything.
This is common to anyone who is fluent is many alternative processes and not necessarily
common to collodion artists. Lots of imaginative possibilities here.
Obviously the plate can be shot directly via camera and can also under this process combine
other 1800\'s processes such as photogenic drawings, etc...
How to is something that you would have to see step by step including understanding and
making curves.
