Another exhibitor at the exhibit in Bry, Oneida had worked with other historical photographic processes (Salted paper, albumen, gum dichromatea and cyanotypes) before approaching Marc Kerun for tuition in Daguerreotypy. Oneida comes from Madrid but lives in Barcelona with her partner Esteban Naves who also exhibited at Bry. Counter to the common modern approach they both started out with the mercurial process and are now working on Becquerel developed daguerreotypes which will soon be added to her gallery.

We are very pleased to announce the addition of a new gallery showing the work of Tom Young, another of the daguerréians who became active with the process in the seventies. In Tom’s own words:

In 1973 my interest in and involvement with photography turned to its history and, in particular, the practice of early photographic processes.

By 1974 I was daguerréotyping and although I also succeeded in obtaining images from the camera by means of other early photographic processes, the charming process of M. Daguerre had won a place in my heart not shared by the others. It remains to this day my primary avenue of photographic expression.

The plates of the workshop experiences of Jillian Pichocki have been added to the galleries. Attending classes in Peru with Jerry Spagnoli and more recently Peters Valley with Mike Robinson, Jillian has gained an excellent grounding in the process.

Whilst studying at the George Eastman House in the late 1990’s Josie took to the Daguerreotype process. Using the mercurial process she documented her favoured pastime – fishing. Originally from Germany she resides in Rochester NY and now has a gallery page at cdags.org.

Prolific with a strong web presence, Jonathan’s images now join our galleries, including mercurial ones from a recent workshop.

Another exhibitor at Bry sur Marne, Beniamino is from Milan, Italy and practises the Becquerel process.

Hailing from the Washington DC area, Larry has been working with the Becquerel process on and off for the last 5 years. A long time poster in the dagforum his progress can now be seen in his new gallery, the 35th artist gallery added to this site.

Our latest gallery from France features Dominique Genty. A geologist and scientific photographer, Dominique’s images show historic and prehistoric relics.  His interests aren’t isolated to making daguerreotypes however, he is also using his scientific background to investigate the processes of image formation.

A new galvanised, gilded and gripping image has been added to Irv’s gallery…
