“The actors had to sit very still, not because the exposure was long but because the amount of image in focus is less than 1 inch deep. It takes 10-20 seconds to set up the plate to be exposed so if someone moved slightly the photo would be out of focus.” -

“The actors were very accommodating and enjoyed seeing the process of making each image. I explained what I was doing and they could see the image fade up from black as it developed. Emma was especially intrigued and said she wanted a wet-plate studio in her house.” -

Invented around 1851, the collodion process is also known as tin type or wet plate photography. The photo has to be taken while the tin or plate is wet with light sensitive chemicals and exposed before the plate dries or else the process will not work.

Each plate (or photo) was 8x10” and required about 10 mins to prep, expose, and develop plus another 30 mins to clean, dry, and then seal with varnish and an open flame. Each plate is an ordinal, a one of a kind. This process did not allow for copies to be made.
