Tintype artist shares five favorite photos to celebrate World Wet Plate Day
Walk down memory lane with collodion photographer Craig Murphy and Glens Falls Art as he shares his top five “made on” World Wet Plate Day images.
Each year, on the first Saturday in May, Craig Murphy, along with wet plate artists around the world, celebrate World Wet Plate Day by making collodion images the same way they were created in the 19th century. In 2022, World Wet Plate Day is celebrated on Saturday May 7. World Wet Plate Day is a day to applaud the artists that continue to practice this original 19th century photographic method. Modern day collodion photographers are encouraged to make wet plate images on the first Saturday in May.
Craig Murphy travels with his Glens Falls Art® traveling tintype studio to locations in upstate NY to make heirloom portraits and scenics using this historic photographic method. Steeped in tradition, these unique images can be passed on from generation to generation. Craig Murphy explains, "The process is very archival. Collodion portraits from 150 years ago are still viewable today!" Click here to check out Craig’s five favorite photographs, handmade by the artist on World Wet Plate Day.
