ENTRY DESCRIPTION
I have organised a physical photography project called "MATERIALISM" with a HongKong photographer. Physical Photography is a retronym that I made to contrast with "Digital Photography". I omit the detail of MATERIALISM project here but we shoot Daguerreotype, Wetplate collodion process and Dryplate collodion process both on location and in a studio.

We often travel for shooting with our handmade dryplates. And in summer in 2017, we travelled around China with my handmade wooden large format camera and shot more than 60 handmade dryplates. This image is just one of the works. If you would like to see more works, please come visit my online portfolio.
