Tin QuestionsBrian CuylerIn this season's finale of Tin Questions, I get to sit down with a chemist turned wetplater turned wetplate chemical supplier, Brian Cuyler. Starting out in collodion at the beginning of the recent renaissance period, Brian used his background in chemistry to investigate some of the historical recipes that we all use and tweak them to produce collodions specialized for different situations. Seeing a gap in the market for these craft collodions, Brian started his own wetplate chemical supply business, UV Photographics. Listen in and hear why you should always "Respect the Chemistry!"2023-09-061h 01Tin QuestionsAndrew PignatelliWe all had to start somewhere and I thought it would be good to hear from somebody new in this episode of Tin Questions. I met Andrew Pignatelli recently while another traveling tintypist was passing through a local brewery. With little background in photography and even less in collodion, Drew became intrigued by seeing the wetplate work of others online and decided to start Golden Tintype, based in Golden, Colorado. Listen in as we try to find out why people are still getting into collodion in 2023.2023-08-3054 minTin QuestionsKurt MoserHave you ever had a subject that seemed too big to capture in a way that accurately showed the scale and majesty of how it truly exists? My next guest had a big dream that started with a chance finding of a 1907 ultra large format camera - weighing in at 70kg and 2 meters long, this "baby" camera was just what was needed to kickstart a dream project, pulling a well known videographer into the world of collodion. Growing up in the shadows of the Dolomites in northern Italy, Kurt Moser started big and stayed big, taking 24" by 24" landscape and...2023-08-231h 01Tin QuestionsAdrian WhippInspiration comes in many forms. Sometimes it's a guy making an 11,000 mile journey across the US in a horse drawn wagon taking tintypes. Originally from England, Texas transplant Adrian Whipp learned about John Coffer's trip and decided he wanted to do the same, minus Brownie the horse. Looking for a career change, Adrian decided to put together a mobile tintype studio that he could take anywhere and started Lumiere Tintype Photography. Listen in as we chat about slinging tin in Texas and why 15,000 images captured is only a start.2023-08-1651 minTin QuestionsFrance Scully Osterman and Mark OstermanIt was once said that "all roads lead to Rome". If you were to ever to trace your genealogy in the learning of wetplate collodion, it is very likely that these roots wind their way back to New York state. This week's episode is a little different than most in that I have not one, but two guests that share their experience and learnings with others all over the globe. France Scully Osterman and Mark Osterman have been involved with researching, practicing and teaching a multitude of historical photographic processes for decades. I'm really grateful to these two for...2023-08-091h 12Tin QuestionsMarkus HofstätterI recently went camping and got ate up by mosquitos. My next guest, Austrian wetplate photographer Markus Hofstätter, lives in a town known for these pesky insects. Not only is Markus a well known European photographer, he is also a great resource to the wetplate community, sharing his knowledge, doing equipment reviews and similar to "Tin Questions", conducting the occasional interview. Hear how a love of shooting pool with both sticks and cameras eventually turned into a desire to slow down and create beautiful images using a historic process.2023-08-021h 06Tin QuestionsSarah CoulterThis week's guest is a fellow wetplater that has shared her portraits with millions of viewers on TV. Currently working as a Director of Photography for Paramount+, Sarah Coulter pitched an idea to capture the cast of the hit show "Yellowstone" using the wetplate process. After these successful images, she then turned her camera towards getting period accurate images of the cast for the follow on hit "1883". Afterwards, she was surprised to learn that these images would be a part of the series opening credits. Listen in to Sarah talk about how she got started in the wetplate and...2023-07-2654 minTin QuestionsSheena DortonWe're not talking about ruby slippers on Tin Questions, but we might have a word about ruby bellows. In this episode, I'm chatting with Dallas-Fort Worth photographer Sheena Dorton who is making a name for herself in the world of tintype. Sheena is one of the first guests on the show that was recommended by listeners that I talk to. Not only is she shooting photos at her Texas studio "Ruby Bellows Tintype", but Sheena was also on the the crew that took amazing photos of the cast starring in the hit TV series "1883".
2023-07-191h 08Tin QuestionsQuinn JacobsonMy next guest probably needs no introduction to anyone that has been remotely involved with collodion work over the last decade. I finally get to sit down with another one of the foundational photographers in the modern wetplate resurgence, Quinn Jacobson. After learning the process, he spent 5 years in Europe traveling and teaching the process to hundreds of budding wetplate photographers. Listen in as Quinn shares his thoughts on what is art, how death influences us and some of the gear he has used with this process.2023-07-121h 15Tin QuestionsJoseph KayneYes, Tin Questions is back. What better to kick off season 2 of the podcast than sitting down with a renowned photographer who's following in the steps of Ansel Adams with his artist in residency sessions with the National Park Service. Known in the wetplate world for his Native American portraiture, Joseph Kayne is also an accomplished landscape photographer. Hear about how a chance trip to Egyptian archeological digs lead him to put a camera to use and make a career in the world of photography.2023-07-0546 minTin QuestionsChad ShryockLet's see... Star Wars, check. Breaking Bad, check. Talking about wetplate, check. Great guest, maybe not? In this mid-season finale, we've got everything except for the cliffhanger when it comes to collodion. Unfortunately, you're stuck listening to me, Chad Shryock, in this episode and hearing about how I got into collodion and what kind of gear I'm shooting with. After this episode, I'm taking a little time off to get the guest schedule lined up, but don't worry, I'll be back. Props to my wife Richelle for kindly stepping in as host so I didn't have to talk to...2023-03-2248 minTin QuestionsAngie BrockeyThis week, we're talking to a collodion photographer that's more than just the traditional tintypist. Combining collodion and jewelry with whimsical and sometimes dark still life scenes, Angie Brockey is part of a small group of wetplaters using atypical substrates. After being coaxed into checking out the process by her husband, Angie fell in love with the collodion process. Seizing an opportunity to create something new as a Mother's Day gift, Angie started shooting images on crystals, polished minerals and other materials and is now known for her beautiful works of wearable photographic art. 2023-03-1545 minTin QuestionsDave WilsonWhat do Norwegian Black Metal, Zamboni driving and reenactment tintype photography have in common? They are all pursuits in the wheelhouse of our next guest, Dave Wilson, owner and wetplate photographer at Victorian Photographic Studio in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. We chat about how Dave stumbled into wetplate with no past experience in photography but was hooked after that first plate. Not only focused on Civil War reenactment photography, he also shares great insight into learning the process as a beginner, some of the pitfalls that new practitioners run into and shares ideas for some upcoming projects. 2023-03-0849 minTin QuestionsBorut PeterlinAs promised, we finally have our first international guest on the podcast. From his quaint home in the forests of Slovenia, wetplate collodion photographer and printmaker Borut Peterlin sits down to talk about his journey from carpenter to photographer. Matching the utility of his 1972 Landrover, Borut hasn't confined himself to just one-off wetplates, but instead continues a tradition of alternative printing techniques to fully recognize his vision. And while he may have an accent, don't get him confused with Borat. Very nice!2023-03-011h 03

Il ne peut y avoir de doute que Pierre Bourdieu, qui reste parmi les sociologues français les mieux connus dans le monde entier, a forgé ses concepts théoriques principaux en Algérie, pendant la guerre de libération. Des travaux récents, appuyés sur les travaux de Bourdieu et surtout sur les archives laissées par ses collègues et collaborateurs algériens, notamment Abdelmalek Sayad, nous permettent de mieux saisir les conditions des recherches de terrain en contexte de guerre, de violence et d...2023-02-2351 minTin QuestionsJustin BoruckiWe're heading to the East Coast in this episode to sit down with professional music photographer and owner of NYC Tintype, Justin Borucki.

Jody Ake was getting into the process in the late 90's when information was scarce and practicing wetplate photographers were even harder to find. While working on his Master's thesis, Jody challenged himself to learn this vintage process after being inspired at the library and delved into the ethers to capture dark portraits reflecting the mortality of one's self. His photographic expertise goes beyond wetplate as he uses many alternative printing processes to capture landscapes, portraits and still-life sub...2023-02-081h 08Tin QuestionsJoseph Wyman BrownNext up on Tin Questions - a man and a bus and a camera. What else is there to know? Plenty, so listen in as I talk to Joseph Wyman Brown and find out more about his love of photography and capturing the essence of people through portraits, his gear and what life on the road is like when you're slingin' tin. 2023-02-011h 14Tin QuestionsChristine EadieIn this episode of Tin Questions, I chat with tintypist Christine Eadie who focuses in on a specific timeframe of American history, the Civil War. Tintypes were highly sought after from 1861 through 1865 as soldiers marched off to war and modern day reenactors are no different. Christine shares how she jumped into the genre of reenactment photography, the challenges that come when working with collodion out of a tent on sutler's row and her passion for sharing this process with others. 2023-01-251h 04Tin QuestionsConrad YoungThis week's episode of Tin Questions sits down with California collodionist, Conrad Young and talks about about his journey into wetplate.

2023-01-181h 08Tin QuestionsShane BalkowitschIn this season opener of Tin Questions, I've asked my friend Shane Balkowitsch to sit down with me and dig into not only his passion for wetplate, but talk about his natural light studio and photographic gear. With over a decade of shooting wetplate collodion ambrotypes in Bismarck, North Dakota, Shane and I chat about his experience creating his first plates, his current projects including his ongoing series of images for "Northern Plains Native Americans - A Modern Wetplate Perspective" and other great stories.2023-01-111h 07Tin QuestionsTrailer: Introducing Tin QuestionsWelcome to Tin Questions! In 1851, Frederick Scott Archer released the wetplate collodion process to the world enabling photographers with the ability to create ambrotypes and tintypes. A hundred years later, the process was almost relegated to the dustbin of history until a recent resurgence of creative photographers came along.
Modern day practitioners of the process are the centerstage of this podcast hosted by Chad Shryock (Porkpie Photography).
