I would love to show you Sean! I'm a tintypist from Australia and have been practicing for 7 years now. Sharing my wet plate work scares me. All the work i've made is deeply personal, to share it online and be vulnerable with my art is something I haven't been able to move past for a long time. However, practicing traditional and alternative photographic processes are not nearly as intimidating as they look! If I ever move past my own insecurity I would love to share my knowledge and processes in a video format.

@@mattdayphoto Despite the fact that I got a comment from Matt himself, which I shall forever treasure in my memories, I'm going to delete this comment now because I feel stupid.
I've always thought this would be a cool thing to offer for weddings or engagements. Like here is this image that took a lot of work but now it will last virtually forever.
You cut out the best part lol omg when you asked how hard is it to learn and he was about to explain you killed the video with a that ad should have waited for him to finish lol 😂
If my checkbook wasn’t locked down in quarantine, I’d give the wet plates a try. It just seems very rewarding to be part of a slow, deliberate and yet imperfect process.
I find this process pretty fascinating. Haven't dove into it just yet, but it's on my list of things to eventually learn. Thanks for sharing your trip over there while he explains how he does it.
I preferred the older bromide photo, though not a huge difference between them. I had heard that the ISO rating of tin types was less than 1, hence the crazy bright flash.
I know I’m late, but I just wanted to make a comment. Film is also light-safe* after stop bath, or a water wash after development. Any silver that is exposed after the stop step cannot develop and will be washed away in the fix. This is why re-fixing isn’t a super big deal. Just thought I would point that out. *Jf you leave it out too long, the film will begin to print out, but so will a wet plate.
Wet plate is so much fun. I took a class at Penumbra in New York a couple of years ago taught by Lisa Elmeleh, was probably the funnest class I've ever taken. Hoping to get set up to do it at home in the near future.
I really want to go and do one of the workshops they do at the Eastman Museum at some point. I think the tintype one would be up my alley. This was a very cool vid.
This was great ... was looking to get into plate photography with my "new" 1880 Primo B so it was great to hear you can pick it up in an afternoon (also great cut-a-way to skillshare, might be the best one I've ever seen;) ... anyway on a vintage camera quest (www.vintagecameraquest.com) wish me luck!
Haha I dunno why but that "viral promotion" or whatever you'd call that made me laugh out loud. That was pretty clever. Awkward but clever and entertaining haha. Nice work! (On the plug and definitely on the video - I really wanna do wet plate sometime)
Do you know if Matt ever does wet plate workshops in Ohio? I'd love to take an afternoo- Seriously though, I recently acquired an old Studio Camera and I have no idea what I"m doing.
I have been considering changing out the big camera backpack I have been using for years and moving to something like a Pelican 1535 case with the padded dividers. Is that what you are using there? It seems pretty functional and looks like it would protect the gear nicely.
Is there a specific reason his Tintypes are so starkly black and white? I find that interesting because the others I've seen were closer to a sepia/grey tone. Is this more to do with the materials he uses to print on?

FINALLY HES NOT WEARING A BALLCAP
na na na na na na na na capman.
Super cool! I'd love to try this one day. Lovely shot of you Matt.
Check out Quinn Jacobson. I learned a lot from him

That Lomography lens is great.
those strobes are damn powerful! i had a tintype taken of me 2 years ago and swear i can still feel the heat from them on my face
Wow his pours were really freaking good!
Pouring is pretty easy the corners stop it from flowing off. I personally find developing the most difficult
yeahh wet plate life again after film

This might be my favorite video of yours - Its been a while since I last watched it but like Ric Flair, it just gets better with age. WOOOOO!
5:20 the way you just pull the camera to your face makes it so funny 😂 great stuff
Canon F1!! Yess!! My current go to 35 SLR, absolutely love it!!
Ooo Tintypes now that is commitment Matt 👍🏻
Extremely cool pictures.
This is epic! I need to get a tin type portrait taken at some point.
That skillshare transition though 😂😂😂😂
Yo this video is too damn good. Such a blast! I really hope to work with wet plates sometime in the future.
thank you
That baby aint going nowhere. Man this process is so neat!!! I dont know if I’ve ever seen anything that cool.

VERY cool stuff! Thanks for sharing how it's done.
How timely! I have been watching various wet plates videos all weekend!
This is the coolest thing I've seen in a while. Thanks for sharing.
That's awesome!! There are a couple of guys in Vancouver (canada) who do tinytypes (I've forgotten their names). They're super nice guys.
I wear hats cos my hairs starting to thin, you wear hats to hide the worlds strongest hairline haha.
I love it!! Thank you for posting that because I did not know it exists
super fun and rewarding process
So cool!
LMAO that ad transition
ive never seen this process before! can't wait to see the lomography lens video
That’s an awesome photo of you Matt.
wet plate is a messy/smelly process but worth it in the end
Awesome video 👌
A lot of fun and very interesting! Thanks Matt!
one of your best this year ...! very interesting and cool .... do more like this ...
A very good summary of the process. 👍
That was great. I was thinking a few days ago that I needed to research tin types. Thanks
Awesome. I always wanted to learn and try it
I love this I just don’t know where to buy everything
This is super cool man, love this content.
Wow I was just looking up on this process! Love the new dew!
This is very cool! More videos like this please!
I like your hats.
Excellent
Thanks for sharing !!
Hmmmm might have to make a nerdy video on these myself someday...
I bet you missed your hat with that blast of light!
Creative110 has a video on making and using a 24” wet plate camera.
Fantastic. Thanks Matt.

Would love to see more details about this process! Cool video! :)
It feels so weird watching you without a hat lol! Great video! :)
Super cool process
Awesome video as always.
Put some photo paper in that 4x5 camera!
Wow, what a segway!
Still watching but MAN those petzval lenses look gorgeous.
This was really fun to watch! I love tintypes. Enjoyed the music too.
loved this
good ol' days
Awesome content. Any idea what causes the cloudy milky residue to show up in some of the shots?
You need to follow that up with a review of Sally Mann books
Haha I dunno why but that "viral promotion" or whatever you'd call that made me laugh out loud. That was pretty clever. Awkward but clever and entertaining haha. Nice work! (On the plug and definitely on the video - I really wanna do wet plate sometime)
Very interesting
Wow. That was really cool!
Nice to see some alt processing on your channel. Stay healthy out there
Im conflicted 🤔, I doesnt feel Matt Day without the Hat, But hes still Matt Day!! 🧐
This was awesome!!!!
Thanks very much, very interesting. Great shot of you, but too bad you forgot your hat. ;)
how did I miss this video last month? once I source a lens for my Kodak mini folder I'm going to have a go at wet plate
That Skillshare Segway tho😂👌
So rad, man. Hillary and I need to get a new tintype done. It's been a few years.
So theres glass and tin but i wonder can you use gel paper to make a paper film?
Beautiful !
This is amazing! Please make more experimental videos 😆
This is so cool!!
Do you know if Matt ever does wet plate workshops in Ohio? I'd love to take an afternoo- Seriously though, I recently acquired an old Studio Camera and I have no idea what I"m doing.
Really cool video. Enjoyed it immensely. Is there a possibility that you would explore different processes?
That did it for me, immediately after the Skill Share push was followed by 2 adverts, sorry didn't make it to the end.
Woah 😍
Can you achieve this with a rb67 which shoots a in a 6x7 format?
Interesting video , love these processes and the visits, also love the no hat !
I think in my case it’s a U.K. thing ?
hello, i am starting in the photography but i have some doubts: what is silver bath? and how you make it?
O-H- !!!!
He is so handsome without cap
Can anyone tell me the chemicals or formula I’m going to need?
So he said
Silver Nitrate bath
Collodion
Developer
Fixer
That’s pretty much it right?
exactly!
damn, i have to try this one day!
What aluminum plates is he using. Where do I get them.
Great video and very easy to understand, but, maybe a bit too short. Still thanks Matt!!!
woooow neato

Hey Film Dad Day I'm sure you're sick of this question, but what case is that? Looking for a strong, stackable solution for my film stuff. I like it.
Pelican 1510 Carry On Case with Yellow and Black Divider Set (Black) Google is a powerful tool.
nice portrait. how long was the exposure. I saw one pop of flash at 07:07 but it did not look very strong.
It's a shame that such great content gets only a 9 minute video. I know Matt has to pay the bills, but still it's a shame.
People should check out Topshit photographer channel if they want to see more about alternative processes
Do you use a pelican case? Or is there any similar cases that you would recommend for traveling with gear??
Is there a specific reason his Tintypes are so starkly black and white? I find that interesting because the others I've seen were closer to a sepia/grey tone. Is this more to do with the materials he uses to print on?
2:40 - That mask is going to come in handy these coming weeks/months... Stay healthy and help me stay sane by sharing a lot of your awesome videos!
