Figuring Out Over the Winter, My Ambrotype Portraits

One of my wet plate goals this winter is to figure out how I want my Ambrotype portraits to look. I will be doing 8x10, 16x16, 16x20, 20x20 and 24x24 inch portrait plates over the winter months. I need to accomplish two things over the next 6 months, how to work with large plates better and create a portrait look on Ambrotype that I love. I have preferred to photograph people my entire photographic life, so this should fit right into my comfort zone.

I plan to experiment with and use a variety of lens and cameras, more details to follow. Currently I am thinking ultra large format tight heads on black with a very shallow depth of focus.
