"Landscapes exist in the material world yet soar in the realms of the spirit..." Tsung Ping, 5th Century China
This is the sort of thing I love about photography. I had the pleasure of sitting for dear friends of mine who produce wet plate, and I noticed so many things, and top among them was how I was feeling during the process, what it was asking of me, how it affected my relationship to the camera, etc. I really enjoyed the experience.
Evocative over academic
I do too. Korol's enthusiasm and absence of pretension are genuine. In May, the Large Format Photography Podcast had Korol as a guest. He grew up on a farm and became a working photographer the day after he graduated from high school. In the video three posts up, he talks about photographing William Allard, but doesn't mention that he's shot for National Geographic himself. I think that the podcast is worth a listen (Episode #51, the substance starts at the 3 minute mark). This is a screen capture for it from my iPad:
