Product Description
Francesco Mastalia's Dahlia is simply classic beauty. Graphic enough to nestle into a modern decor, the sepia warmth and antique process renders the image timeless, making it a perfect complement to old world style as well.
The Process:
The portraits of the Flower collection were photographed using the wet plate collodion process, a technique developed in the mid-19th century, when the art of photography was in its infancy. Working with a large format wooden camera, an 1870’s brass lens, and portable darkroom, glass plates are hand-coated with a blend of collodion and light sensitive salts to produce one of a kind images. Each step of the process has a life of its own. There are no light meters to guide in exposure. Temperature and humidity play a role, and the UV light sensitivity renders different then what the naked eye can see. With so many factors inherent to its unique characteristics, no two plates are ever alike.
