What's cool is they allow clients to share in the darkroom experience;

“When you come to the studio, you can actually join us in the dark room,” Caramello said. “You can see the plate being made; you can see the plate being developed.”

It’s a very enjoyable process. I started doing mostly Ambrotypes about twelve years ago and did quite a few commercial jobs using the process and sold a lot of images through my galleries. I’ve not done any in a few years but plan to get back in it.

I was using either a 5x7 or 8x10 Deardorffs and a Civil War era Darlit Petzval that barely fit in my 8x10. On smaller images I used an Ajax Petzval and a couple of Rapid Rectilinears including a beautiful Voigtlander from 1880.

This one reminds of an actor I remember from the 70's/80's.
