So amazing! Love this!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love this.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting, would love to have this knowledge in order to create this photography. Great photos on your part to boot!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful.
ReplyDeleteps; I texted you last week! Not sure if you got it.
Thanks Liz! You texted me? No I didn't get it! I'll email you today.
DeleteI've been trying to find a place to learn this so I'm grateful to learn about a studio that does it still.
ReplyDeleteThe Ostermans are incredibly knowledgeable - I highly recommend attending a workshop with them, I had the best time!

ReplyDeletebeautiful katie!
ReplyDeleteOh my! Totally looks awesome! I hope I could make one like this too!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing :)
love the color on the walls.
ReplyDeleteI just stumbled on your blog and LOVE it. All of your photos scream nostalgia and calm - as if it's of a different time all together.
ReplyDeleteThank you! What a beautiful compliment.
DeleteSO happy you did the workshop...love the Ostermans! Your portrait turned out beautifully!
ReplyDeleteI really had the best time and I have to thank Mark for my pretty portrait, he is a master indeed. I can't wait to go back - maybe later this year.
Deletevery cool. how long was the exposure?
ReplyDeleteThanks, I believe the exposure was 45-47 seconds - somewhere around there.
DeleteThank you all so much for the compliments!!
ReplyDeleteI don't know how I missed this post.
ReplyDeleteMy husband, son, and I lived in Rochester for six months. I desperately wanted to do one of the workshops through the Eastman house. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to before we moved. I did get to tour the house, though. It's beautiful.
These images are so lovely. I especially like the one with the chemical being poured onto the glass. I took Historical Processes in college, but we never did wet/dry plates. I hope you're able to do more!
