Sergei Romanov

I have been doing photography for over 25 years. Many years of trials and experiments with both digital and film photography influenced the emergence of my vision of female beauty. Each of my photographic works is the result of a lot of painstaking work, using various accessories, lighting methods and obtaining the finished picture. For me, both the photography process and the post-processing process are a complete immersion in creativity and art. I print all my photographs on canvas, which are then sold all over the world. The photographs you see were taken in the following way: The surface of the glass plate is poured with a solution of potassium iodide in collodion, and then treated with a solution of silver nitrate. As a result, silver iodide is formed, distributed in collodion, the so-called collodion emulsion. The collodion emulsion does not develop in a dry state, so photography and processing are carried out immediately after the production of the collodion photographic plate, while it is still wet. The exposed plate is developed with an iron developer, and fixed with potassium cyanide.
