I would love to show you Sean! I'm a tintypist from Australia and have been practicing for 7 years now. Sharing my wet plate work scares me. All the work i've made is deeply personal, to share it online and be vulnerable with my art is something I haven't been able to move past for a long time. However, practicing traditional and alternative photographic processes are not nearly as intimidating as they look! If I ever move past my own insecurity I would love to share my knowledge and processes in a video format.

@@mattdayphoto Despite the fact that I got a comment from Matt himself, which I shall forever treasure in my memories, I'm going to delete this comment now because I feel stupid.
I've always thought this would be a cool thing to offer for weddings or engagements. Like here is this image that took a lot of work but now it will last virtually forever.
I preferred the older bromide photo, though not a huge difference between them. I had heard that the ISO rating of tin types was less than 1, hence the crazy bright flash.
I find this process pretty fascinating. Haven't dove into it just yet, but it's on my list of things to eventually learn. Thanks for sharing your trip over there while he explains how he does it.
If my checkbook wasn’t locked down in quarantine, I’d give the wet plates a try. It just seems very rewarding to be part of a slow, deliberate and yet imperfect process.
Wet plate is so much fun. I took a class at Penumbra in New York a couple of years ago taught by Lisa Elmeleh, was probably the funnest class I've ever taken. Hoping to get set up to do it at home in the near future.
You cut out the best part lol omg when you asked how hard is it to learn and he was about to explain you killed the video with a that ad should have waited for him to finish lol 😂
I really want to go and do one of the workshops they do at the Eastman Museum at some point. I think the tintype one would be up my alley. This was a very cool vid.
I have been considering changing out the big camera backpack I have been using for years and moving to something like a Pelican 1535 case with the padded dividers. Is that what you are using there? It seems pretty functional and looks like it would protect the gear nicely.
Haha I dunno why but that "viral promotion" or whatever you'd call that made me laugh out loud. That was pretty clever. Awkward but clever and entertaining haha. Nice work! (On the plug and definitely on the video - I really wanna do wet plate sometime)
I know I’m late, but I just wanted to make a comment. Film is also light-safe* after stop bath, or a water wash after development. Any silver that is exposed after the stop step cannot develop and will be washed away in the fix. This is why re-fixing isn’t a super big deal. Just thought I would point that out. *Jf you leave it out too long, the film will begin to print out, but so will a wet plate.
This was great ... was looking to get into plate photography with my "new" 1880 Primo B so it was great to hear you can pick it up in an afternoon (also great cut-a-way to skillshare, might be the best one I've ever seen;) ... anyway on a vintage camera quest (www.vintagecameraquest.com) wish me luck!
Is there a specific reason his Tintypes are so starkly black and white? I find that interesting because the others I've seen were closer to a sepia/grey tone. Is this more to do with the materials he uses to print on?
Do you know if Matt ever does wet plate workshops in Ohio? I'd love to take an afternoo- Seriously though, I recently acquired an old Studio Camera and I have no idea what I"m doing.

FINALLY HES NOT WEARING A BALLCAP
Super cool! I'd love to try this one day. Lovely shot of you Matt.
Check out Quinn Jacobson. I learned a lot from him
I would love to show you Sean!

BUckY That was... the joke. Did you get that?
Matt Day I think (hope) he was pointing out the joke?

BUckY 🤣🤣 Don’t feel stupid!
I'M SO IMMENSELY EXCITED TO SEE THAT PETZVAL IN ACTION OH LORD
This might be my favorite video of yours - Its been a while since I last watched it but like Ric Flair, it just gets better with age. WOOOOO!
5:20 the way you just pull the camera to your face makes it so funny 😂 great stuff

This is the coolest thing I've seen in a while. Thanks for sharing.
That Lomography lens is great.
super fun and rewarding process
Ooo Tintypes now that is commitment Matt 👍🏻
I wear hats cos my hairs starting to thin, you wear hats to hide the worlds strongest hairline haha.
If my checkbook wasn’t locked down in quarantine, I’d give the wet plates a try. It just seems very rewarding to be part of a slow, deliberate and yet imperfect process.
I love it!! Thank you for posting that because I did not know it exists
yeahh wet plate life again after film
those strobes are damn powerful! i had a tintype taken of me 2 years ago and swear i can still feel the heat from them on my face

Yo this video is too damn good. Such a blast! I really hope to work with wet plates sometime in the future.
Canon F1!! Yess!! My current go to 35 SLR, absolutely love it!!
How timely! I have been watching various wet plates videos all weekend!
Wow his pours were really freaking good!
Pouring is pretty easy the corners stop it from flowing off. I personally find developing the most difficult
nice portrait. how long was the exposure. I saw one pop of flash at 07:07 but it did not look very strong.
This is super cool man, love this content.
Awesome content. Any idea what causes the cloudy milky residue to show up in some of the shots?
VERY cool stuff! Thanks for sharing how it's done.
I would definitely recommend locking your seatbelt. That case probably doesn’t weigh enough to activate the crash tensioner in a wreck.
A very good summary of the process. 👍
You cut out the best part lol omg when you asked how hard is it to learn and he was about to explain you killed the video with a that ad should have waited for him to finish lol 😂
That’s an awesome photo of you Matt.
wet plate is a messy/smelly process but worth it in the end
Awesome video 👌
Awesome video as always.
one of your best this year ...! very interesting and cool .... do more like this ...
That's awesome!! There are a couple of guys in Vancouver (canada) who do tinytypes (I've forgotten their names). They're super nice guys.
A lot of fun and very interesting! Thanks Matt!
That skillshare transition though 😂😂😂😂
That baby aint going nowhere. Man this process is so neat!!! I dont know if I’ve ever seen anything that cool.
This is epic! I need to get a tin type portrait taken at some point.
Extremely cool pictures.
This is very cool! More videos like this please!
Awesome. I always wanted to learn and try it
Super cool process
I really want to go and do one of the workshops they do at the Eastman Museum at some point. I think the tintype one would be up my alley. This was a very cool vid.
That was great. I was thinking a few days ago that I needed to research tin types. Thanks
ive never seen this process before! can't wait to see the lomography lens video
Fantastic. Thanks Matt.
This was awesome!!!!
Wow I was just looking up on this process! Love the new dew!
Can anyone tell me the chemicals or formula I’m going to need?
So he said
Silver Nitrate bath
Collodion
Developer
Fixer
That’s pretty much it right?
exactly!
Wow. That was really cool!
loved this
thank you
I love this I just don’t know where to buy everything
Wow, what a segway!
hello, i am starting in the photography but i have some doubts: what is silver bath? and how you make it?
This is so cool!!
Would love to see more details about this process! Cool video! :)
Beautiful !
So cool!
I have been considering changing out the big camera backpack I have been using for years and moving to something like a Pelican 1535 case with the padded dividers. Is that what you are using there? It seems pretty functional and looks like it would protect the gear nicely.
Do you use a pelican case? Or is there any similar cases that you would recommend for traveling with gear??
Can you achieve this with a rb67 which shoots a in a 6x7 format?
Interesting video , love these processes and the visits, also love the no hat !
I think in my case it’s a U.K. thing ?
Creative110 has a video on making and using a 24” wet plate camera.
Excellent
Thanks for sharing !!
You need to follow that up with a review of Sally Mann books
Nice to see some alt processing on your channel. Stay healthy out there
What aluminum plates is he using. Where do I get them.
It feels so weird watching you without a hat lol! Great video! :)
LMAO that ad transition
good ol' days
So theres glass and tin but i wonder can you use gel paper to make a paper film?
Haha I dunno why but that "viral promotion" or whatever you'd call that made me laugh out loud. That was pretty clever. Awkward but clever and entertaining haha. Nice work! (On the plug and definitely on the video - I really wanna do wet plate sometime)
What do you use for developer?
Hmmmm might have to make a nerdy video on these myself someday...
I know I’m late, but I just wanted to make a comment. Film is also light-safe* after stop bath, or a water wash after development. Any silver that is exposed after the stop step cannot develop and will be washed away in the fix. This is why re-fixing isn’t a super big deal. Just thought I would point that out.
*Jf you leave it out too long, the film will begin to print out, but so will a wet plate.
I like your hats.
That Skillshare Segway tho😂👌
Put some photo paper in that 4x5 camera!
Still watching but MAN those petzval lenses look gorgeous.
This was really fun to watch! I love tintypes. Enjoyed the music too.
So rad, man. Hillary and I need to get a new tintype done. It's been a few years.
I bet you missed your hat with that blast of light!
Really cool video. Enjoyed it immensely. Is there a possibility that you would explore different processes?
What kind of camera is he using?
This was great ... was looking to get into plate photography with my "new" 1880 Primo B so it was great to hear you can pick it up in an afternoon (also great cut-a-way to skillshare, might be the best one I've ever seen;) ... anyway on a vintage camera quest (www.vintagecameraquest.com) wish me luck!
Hey Film Dad Day I'm sure you're sick of this question, but what case is that? Looking for a strong, stackable solution for my film stuff. I like it.
Pelican 1510 Carry On Case with Yellow and Black Divider Set (Black) Google is a powerful tool.
This is amazing! Please make more experimental videos 😆
Great video and very easy to understand, but, maybe a bit too short. Still thanks Matt!!!
Im conflicted 🤔, I doesnt feel Matt Day without the Hat, But hes still Matt Day!! 🧐
Is there a specific reason his Tintypes are so starkly black and white? I find that interesting because the others I've seen were closer to a sepia/grey tone. Is this more to do with the materials he uses to print on?
damn, i have to try this one day!
Do you know if Matt ever does wet plate workshops in Ohio? I'd love to take an afternoo- Seriously though, I recently acquired an old Studio Camera and I have no idea what I"m doing.
That did it for me, immediately after the Skill Share push was followed by 2 adverts, sorry didn't make it to the end.
It's a shame that such great content gets only a 9 minute video. I know Matt has to pay the bills, but still it's a shame.
Very interesting
Thanks very much, very interesting. Great shot of you, but too bad you forgot your hat. ;)
He is so handsome without cap
Woah 😍
2:40 - That mask is going to come in handy these coming weeks/months... Stay healthy and help me stay sane by sharing a lot of your awesome videos!
so beautiful
