Brian Scadden: Wet Plate Photography

Brian Scadden’s passion is old-school craft photography on cameras dating as early as the mid-19th century – some of which he designs and builds himself. These cameras, which can weigh up to 60kgs, predate film – and the images are captured instead on a plate of glass.
