Speaker: Rudy Salgado
history & process of wet-plate
collodion photography
Rudy Salgado creates heirloom portraits using 19th-century wet-plate collodion photography. At his River City Tintype studio in Louisville, sitters experience the process from start to finish, from posing to developing the image in the darkroom.
Rudy trained in ceramics and printmaking at California State University, Chico (BFA, 2007) and the University of Iowa (MFA, 2012), and has exhibited his artwork internationally. He began his wet-plate collodion photography journey with a workshop in 2019 in Oxford, Mississippi. He has met and made photographs with wet-plate artists across the US and internationally at places like Oslo, Norway, and Tokyo, Japan. In 2021, he took a studio lighting workshop with artists Mark Osterman and France Scully in Rochester, New York. Rudy has made artwork at residencies like KH Messen, Alvik Norway, Mildred’s Lane, Edinburgh Printmakers studio, Edinburgh, Scotland, and Kala Arts Institute, Berkeley, CA.
