Фотограф использует 160-летнюю камеру, чтобы делать зловеще прекрасные снимки

Всё начинается с ощущения, что мастер изобрел машину времени и переносит своих героев в прошлое. Впрочем, из прошлого — только фотокамера Жиля Клемана (Giles Clement). Его инструменту, создающему мгновенные шедевры, больше 160 лет!

Согласитесь, вы бы тоже захотели себе такой портрет. Увы, мастер работает только в городе Нэшвилл (США). Жиль использует два приема: фото на жестяной пластинке, покрытой коллодием, или позитив, созданный из стеклянного негатива, закрашенного с одной стороны черной краской.

Chancy and Mat made a stop at my Nashville studio for a 16×20 ambrotype on their way to a new home in Oregon. Good luck on the trail. #ambrotype #16×20 #oregontrail

Much of my photography is inspired and influenced by my friends and peers. I met Robby eight years ago while working at a used camera shop and from him I've learned that nothing has to be exact when making a photo. Shoot expired film, use a scratched lens, guess your development times and be willing to try something seemingly idiotic just to see what it'll do. And be ready to be pleasantly surprised when luck and science collide. Check out his work: @uvways #ambrotype #8×10 #largeformat

Face to face, one carved by wind, sun and adventures past. The other focused through old glass and captured in silver. Tomorrow I'm taking my studio across town to my friends @thirdmanrecordsofficial and will be making tintype portraits at their shop 12-5 during the celebration of Jack White's latest record release. Schedule an appointment through my site or just stop by, say hi and check out a few of my 16×20 musician ambrotypes. #tintype @banditphotographer

Thank you Erin and Robert and everyone else who came out for a portrait today in at @studiotwothree in Richmond. And thank you to all of you in the other cities on my east coast tour. Your support is hugely appreciated and I'm thankful for your help in making some amazing images along the way. #travelingtin #tintype

«Моя камера сделана в 19 веке», говорит Клеман. «Тогда подобные инструменты создавали в специальных мастерских, с линзами, изготовленными вручную. Каждая камера обладает особенностью и почерком, несовершенным отражением мира, которое я нахожу волшебным».

Sarah, Olive and Kyle, thank you so much for letting me photograph your family and thanks to the solid crew at the James Dant shop for hosting my studio for a day. #travelingtin #tintype @jamesdant_astoreformen
