- As if photography wasn't addicting enough. Imagine "photographic crack". Dan Carrillo practices a form of photography that started over a hundred years ago. Before film, before the polaroid...
Daniel Carrillo is a self-taught mezzotint artist and photographer. Born in Mexico and raised in California, he moved to Seattle in 1997. He has been printmaking for five years and shooting since high school. His work has been exhibited in Davidson Galleries, Gallery 110, Sev Shoon, CoCA , Shenzhen, China, Some Space,, Gage Academy, SOIL and included in several juried exhibitions. He is currently photographing members of the Seattle area arts community using the wet collodion method invented in 1850. It's called Wet Plate photography...and it's incredibly fascinating.
Before we take you to the season finale next week, we wanted to pay tribute to one of the amazing processes invented by talented artists when photography first began. Dan takes us step by step to show us the lighting, the shutter speed, the equipment and even the chemicals as he photographs our host, Melissa.

The Victorians always know best . Sadly the man never made a penny from it so it was a gift that will carry on giving .... thanks to chaps like this.
Great episode! IT was fascinating watching Mr. Carrillo work and seeing his process in detail. I'd also add that his personable nature made it that much more enjoyable to watch.
Thanks Daniel for doing what you do, keeping this old knowledge alive!
such a great episode! You guys never fail to have an interesting and very informative show!
Brilliant! Love it :-) Thank you
That was AWESOME! Well worth watching and such an amazing image!
Very well done, thank you. I appreciate your sincerity in the explanations and descriptions.
Looking at it as a photographer is more about the process and final product than gear.
One of the best in the series.
wonderful technique, very tangible creativity...loved it.
WOW, this is one of the coolest video's on youtube !
Just watched it again....... Even better :-)

26:15 The most amazing thing I've ever seen!
Great presentation Daniel.
She def wanted him... This was great, thanks! Hope I will ever do this.
Wet plate collodion process is so awesome. I always wanted to dabble but man, it seems tough to get into, a lot of resources needed.
You guys find the most interesting photogs to interview! I first heard about Dan for the shot he did of Tom Skerrit that eventually was used for the SIFF. What fabulous image making.

I'm much older than him. I started taking pics with film cameras when this man wasn't born yet and I did my developing and printing myself and now... I'm happy digital photo exists. Developing and printing wa fun (sometimes) but it's NOT photography.
Photography is not about processsing as much as painting is not about grinding colours or building canvas frames.
Ok, now, while he's busy mixing chemicals, I'll go out taking photos.

Exactly what I said.
durotube59 And while you are using your digital camera, I'll be using my 8x10 and 11x14 film cameras. You'll be happy, I'll be happy.
+durotube59 Good for you but developing and printing IS photography. In my mind, photography isn't about sitting in front of the computer and staring at histograms creating endless duplicates of the original, none of which are any more genuine than another.
Live and let live, would you not say?
+durotube59 I'm not sure what you're even saying. The image created in this video is BEAUTIFUL, and no digital camera could create anything similar. Digital cameras can also create beautiful images but it is not the same, just as film is different. I think the photographer here also said he has and uses a digital camera... It's all photography and it doesn't have to be one or the other!
I've noticed many older people that used to shoot film for years, are very happy about the conveniences of digital photography and don't look back. But many young people that grew up with digital photography, are very excited about film (or pre-film processes, like wet-plate) photography.
I, as a younger person, see lots of values in film photography. Although I still own a canon DSLR+many lenses, that I use often and love. However, the process can be very important for your photography. Since I started shooting film, my photography became significantly better as it forced me to think a lot more about my images and slow down. With digital cameras, I often see myself turning off the brain (which is my fault, not the mediums fault). I think for many people, the photographic process is as much part of the joy of photography as the end product is.
Besides this, both digital, film & wet plates have each their own "natural looks". Of course you can replicate almost anything with photoshop. But it is generally more satisfying to use the right medium for the look you are after, than trying to replicate something else.
All in all, despite I love digital photography and can't live without it in many situations, I find it much more enjoyable & satisfying working in a Darkroom than in "lightroom".
Her lack of swearing annoyed me.
