Greetings,
I would like to introduce you to Dimitri. He just did a workshop with me over the weekend and did an amazing job for his first time with wet plate Collodion. Dimitri is from Antwerp, Belgium and drove down Saturday for the workshop.
In between making plates, we talked about the beginning stages of a European Collodion movement/community. It's beginning to take hold here as it did a few years ago in the states. There are no re-enactors here, so Collodion is finding its home with traditional fine art photographers and even other types of artists. So, for those of you reading this that are European, stay posted, we are in the beginning stages of forming a community here for wet plate artists.
Again, welcome Dimitri! (A self-portrait belowl; first plate he ever poured, developed and varnished - it was perfect!)
