David Sokosh Figurative Photography
David Sokosh, has long held a fascination with vintage technologies and aesthetics. In addition to his other interests, it’s no surprise that Sokosh favors the 19th century photographic process of Wet Plate Collodion in his own image making. Sokosh uses an authentic Victorian lens fitted to a handmade camera to photograph staged scenes in a daylight studio in Claverack, NY. His tintypes are a far cry from geeky to sophisticated still-lifes are mixed with contemporary subject matter. But no matter the contents, each photograph is veiled with the illusion of time past. All plates are unique, however, he occasionally will photograph the same subject several times to mimic multiples.
