A WET PLATE PORTRAIT OF SCOTLAND : Since falling head over heels in love with the Wet Plate Collodion process I wanted to produce a series of portraits and landscapes of my homeland. It’s been a slightly crazy love affair which has seen me exchange my wee car for a great big ex Glasgow City Council works van. I’ve fitted out the van with bunkbeds and a darkroom and am now travelling the country, as and when I can, to make these images onto large sheets of black aluminium.
