Sally Mann and Dan Eastbrook


Sally Mann Deep South.


taken using wet plate collodion negatives. A process that dates back to 19th century photography.


I like Sally Mann's Deep South photographs because they are so beautiful. Hauntingly beautiful. They  feel suspended in time, ghostly and eerie. I really like the handmade and time consuming feel they have to it. I feel my work can kinda relate to these as the subject matter simular, and the nature of the work - old process, images turning out blurry, uneven, rough etc and the unpredictableness. 















Dan Eastbrook.

I like Dan EastBrooks work because of it handcrafted feel, and how he uses different, interesting processes. His work has a mysterious feel to it to, due to the random subject matter and how the processes create the uneven, blurry rough images.
