Chris Nail Teaching the Begining Alternative Process class how to make a tintype portrait. Using Wetplate Collodion, a process developed in the 1850s, photographers are able to create a false positive emulsion on glass or metal. Using Natural light, exposure times can range up to 45 seconds. Photo by Forrest Soper.
