Darkbox Images: Gregg McNeill on Victorian Photographic Processes
In today's episode we hear from Gregg McNeill of Darkbox Images, discussing the tangibility of analogue processes and why wet plate collodion (a Victorian photographic technology) endures to this day.
Gregg lives and works in Larbert as a photographer and
film-maker, employing both digital and analogue photographic processes to create beautiful and unique images. We are fortunate enough to be hosting Gregg at HippFest 2024, where we know our audiences will savour the opportunity to sit for a unique portrait to take home.
Excitingly, Gregg is offering a special perk for Festival
Pass Holders, who will receive a complimentary debossed cabinet card to display their portrait in style!
In conversation with Digital Content Manager (and podcast wrangler) Christina - who incidentally, is also an analogue photographer - Gregg discusses the fundamentally physical process of shooting 16mm film, how lens-based technology has affected how we see and tell stories, the beauty of the collodion process, and the value of physical photographic ephemera.
