My first Wet Plate Portrait

[Film Photographer]

Want you guys to cast your eyes on my first wet plate on glass. I have varnished it with Gum Sandrac. I am proud of this image. I have scanned it with a high end scanner to get as mush detail as possible.

I'll be trying wet plate in the near future. Your results inspire me.

Looks great. I know some that have been at it for a while and don't get results that look that good. Congrats!

Thanks Guys appreciate the time taken to reply I was outside in the shade and did not use any light modifiers or reflectors next time I will have to fill in some light especially at the face.

That looks fantastic; it inspires me to look further into this process that I know nothing about.
