Photographer takes grim portraits with 170-year-old method of shooting

Categories: Culture | Social Networks

Spanish photographer Jacqueline Roberts revives the methods of photography of the XIX century in the era of digital domination. Jacqueline's work focuses more on the psychological and emotional transition from childhood to adolescence. The shooting technique used by the photographer further enhances the gloomy atmosphere. 

The photographic wetcollodion process was invented in 1851 almost simultaneously by Frederick Scott Archer and Gustave Le Gray. The first publication belongs to Archer, so the invention is attributed to him. In the 19th century, this technique became a real breakthrough in the world of photography, allowing you to take high-quality photos with short exposures. The technique quickly became popular among photographers, it was used to shoot portraits, landscapes, and architecture.

Хотя для процесса требовалась мобильная проявочная комната, он сочетал в себе плюсы калотипии (позволяя делать неограниченное количество кадров с одного негатива) и дагеротипии (создавая четкое и качественное изображение, которого нельзя было добиться с бумажными негативами).

Робертс часто выбирает в качестве моделей именно детей, но не по тем причинам, из-за которых большинство фотографов снимают детей. «Я не согласна с распространенным мнением, что дети — это лишь милые и невинные создания. В детях как нельзя лучше проявляется человеческая незавершенность, видно их незнание мира».
