Wet Plate, or collodion, is one of the first photography methods to have ever been used. Introduced in the 1850's, this complicated technique involves developing images on glass or tin. It is still practiced today as a labor of love. Mark Sink and Ed Ross are both modern day masters who have fine-tuned their craft to create beautifully haunting portraits.

Each piece is perfectly flawed. The smudged finger prints against the glass, the scratches and tarnishing on the tin, along with the captivating faces--un-photoshopped and raw--combine to create visually striking photographs.
