ABOUT LIQUID EMULSION
This unique photographic printing process allows the artist the flexibility to hand coat silver gelatin emulsion on to a wide selection of surfaces including watercolour papers, timber, metals, fabric and glass.
ABOUT DRY PLATE
This silver gelatin process is more practical than the wet collodion negative process for long exposures and negative field work. After sizing the glass emulsion is poured onto the glass plate and dried before exposure, the blue-sensitive emulsion still gives the unique feel of 19th century photographs. Historically these are contact printed in alternative processes, but can make stunning Silver gelatin enlargements.
