Ian Ruhter will be premiering his new video and giving a talk on his wet plate/collodion process. I had dinner with him last night, and he's a really cool dude!
Ian Ruhter - "Silver and Light" Behind the Story
Photographer Ian Ruhter has teamed up with his director / partner Lane Power on a journey that few photographers are willing to take: giving up life as a successful snowboard / sports photographer to pursue a dream; follow his art and passion wherever it leads. Risk everything, invest his life savings in his dream and hit the road in a giant camera to shoot massive wet plates. Not for the faint of heart.
Ian's wet plates are captivating, stunning and beautiful. Mountains, cityscapes and portraits all tell part of the story, the rest is being documented in a series of videos.
The videos not only reveal the Silver and Light project, but tell much more about the thoughts and passion in the process, while revealing many very personal human stories. It makes for compelling stories about the photography shot with a process from the 1850's and documented on the latest Digital SLR cameras and gear. Ian and Lane will discuss the creative and production process they use and share some of their latest work.
