Back to Wet Plate

Setup making my first Ambrotypes in over 1 years time. It is all coming back to me! Trying to do 11x14 self portraits in available light.

 

Trying to get the portrait look I see in my minds eye. I have not done much wet plat portraiture. Got to get good at this, got to be able to do STRONG ambrotype portrait work!!!!!

 

My portable AC unit has not arrived yet. 27.5c inside the trailer.
