Steve Lovegrove would rather take 15 minutes taking the perfect photo in his darkroom than 30 seconds on Instagram. He says he is 'embracing imperfection'.
Under the red light, an impression of the skeleton appears on the plate.
"The chemical process I'm working with is not perfect. It's not possible to make a perfect wet plate collodion, every image is different." "My personal photography has often related to found objects, grunge things that people would walk past and not notice … The wet plate process and those sort of subject matter has welded together to create the perfect medium to express what I see in these various objects I bring back to the studio," he says.The genesis of Lovegrove's 40-year association with photography can be easily traced.
"I got a really good technical grounding in chemistry, physics and various types of cameras," he said.Lovegrove's professional career started not long after in Alice Springs. "Around 20I3, I began to get tired of sitting in front of the computer and the predominance in the digital world of the time required doing post-production. So I started to look at how I would go back to some area of photography that was more hands-on and more interesting for me."Lovegrove has always been drawn to the darkroom and the tactile elements of loading, developing and processing images.
