Wet plate collodion retouching

This is the first of hopefully many retouching and photography tutorials that I will be doing over the next months. This tutorial is about wet plate collodion images which I´ve been trying to find a way to emulate  in post production. I really like the look and feel of these kind of images.


For me the basic photograph is the starting point and I try to capture people as they are. Then I go ahead and try to create something more, and for this series I have tried to capture bit more of that old feel to the images. Hope you like my first tutorial .. it was bit of an effort to push these out 😀

    Thanks for sharing this tutorial! Do you think you’ll upload the PSD file so we can play around with the settings you have in place?

    was wondering where you got the layers that provided all the grunge and metal/dirt to the image?
