Module 15 Lab

From 1855 until the end of the 1880s, Mathew Brady used a four step procedure to create photos. First, he prepared a glass plate collodion and silver nitrate. While the plate was still wet, he placed it in the camera, exposed it, developed it, and washed it with water, which then created a negative. When the negative was dry, Brady placed it on a sheet of light sensitive paper and put it in the sun. Finally the paper was developed, fixed, and washed, to produce a photograph. The subject matter is typically a well dressed individual staring off into the distance. This is in the style of Brady because he is staring off into the distance and dressed well.
