My name is Chuck Ogden, I shoot in the wet plate collodion process. The process was invented in 1851 by Sir Fredrick Archer. The image is shot on metal (Tintype) or glass (Ambrotype). This process was used throughout the Civil War and beyond due to it's inexpensive nature. Most of my current images come from reenactors, but I look forward to working with models as I find the wet plate process to posses a quality that can not be found with any other process!!  It has been a real challenge and very addictive. You may also see some more modern digital images from time to time. If you feel as if you have an idea that will work well with my technique please feel free to message me and we can discuss it!! I look forward to shooting with you soon!!
