Created in the 1850's, photography changed the way people viewed the world. The original method of capturing a photograph involved a great deal of chemicals and patience, and I was lucky enough to see that process this weekend when I got a tintype done by Riley J.B. - a photographer and alchemist who practices the art of the wet plate collodion process (you can read more about his process here). I was absolutely thrilled when I found out that I won a tintype, and it was such a fantastic experience. His studio in Calgary is held in nvrlnd, which is a art collective that is in an abandoned hotel in Ramsay. The space is stunning, and we were also able to pop in at other studios in the building to see what some of the other artists are working on. We were able to watch the entire process of preparing the plate and developing it after, and I am now a proud owner of my very own tintype. To learn more about the process and see his other photos, check out Riley's website here.
Next week I will post more about the dress that I wore! ~K
