Jerry Spagnoli, Angela, daguerreotype,
6-1/2 x 8-1/2 in.
Jerry Spagnoli - Contemporary Daguerreotypes
A daguerreotype is a photographic image produced on a sheet of polished silver, unique for its clarity and presence. The process has been largely lost to artists for over 100 years, so it has much unexplored potential and a rich historical legacy. The method I teach minimizes the use of hazardous chemicals. This technique, introduced in 1840 by M.E. Bequerrel, is a versatile image-making system. Plates can be exposed in a large format camera or contact printed from film positives. Basic camera and darkroom skills required. Code 07p
Studio artist; collections: National Portrait Gallery (DC), Museum of Modern Art (NYC), Art Institute of Chicago; author of Daguerreotypes (Steidl) and the forthcoming American Dreaming (Steidl).
