5/1/2024 | Missouri State Museum | Jefferson City, MO
Join us at the landing to learn how the wet-plate collodion process brought photography into the mainstream. Visitors will see examples of photography equipment of the era and learn how it was used to produce glass negatives, ambrotypes and tintypes, including a run-through of the chemistry, materials and processes that made it possible. Guest speaker Andrew Richmond is the creative director with the Missouri Department of Natural Resources' Office of Communications, where he also served as photographer and videographer in previous roles. He learned the wet-plate photography process in 2005, and has been an active hobbyist practitioner for nearly 20 years.
