Catching The Light is a project started 1 March 2015 and finish 1 March 2016.
I have been photographing for a few years, but suddenly I reach a point where photography became unimportant/superficial. So I choose to challenge myself in photography. I wanted to start from scratch, and experience photography in its most basic and raw state.
The photographic proces I choose was the Wet Plate Collodion process invented by Frederick Scott Archer in 1851 - one of the first photographic processes.
Before I could begin the project I needed a camera, and I decided to build it myself.
