Artist Biography:
Early photography techniques like daguerreotypes, ambrotypes, and tintypes were groundbreaking methods that laid the foundation for modern photography. Daguerreotypes, developed by Louis Daguerre in 1839, used polished silver-plated copper sheets treated with light-sensitive chemicals to create highly detailed, one-of-a-kind images. Ambrotypes, introduced in the 1850s, replaced the metal plate with a glass plate coated with a collodion emulsion, producing a positive image when backed with a dark material. Tintypes, also from the 1850s, used a similar collodion process but on thin sheets of iron coated with enamel, making them more durable and affordable. Each of these methods required long exposure times and precise handling but represented significant advancements in capturing and preserving visual history.
