We all know one of the most difficult things about making daguerreotypes, especially for beginners, is the lack of equipment. As such, Alan and I thought it important to have a place to buy, sell, and trade daguerreian equipment and supplies. I am proud to announce the Daguerreian Marketplace as the fourth section of the forum. It is only viewable by members of the forum so log in or sign up.

Enjoy!

Known to the older generation of contemporary Daguerreotypists as the “Prince of polish” Irving has made an art of the science as well as a science of the art. His recent still-lifes make up our latest artist gallery.

Keeping the galleries section international are the Daguerreotypes of Åke Hultman. Åke comes from Sweden and uses both the cold mercury and Becquerel processes.

Whole plate and heavenly - the Daguerreotypes of Gregory Popovitch are our new gallery. Unmistakably modern they are also mercurial in their making. A practitioner since 2003 Gregory finds “solace in creating one of a kind objects using the manual, demanding and unpredictable Daguerreotype process”.

A trained silversmith with his own hallmark is the next Daguerriean to join our gallery ranks. Brenton uses both Mercurial and Becquerel processes as well as making his own modern cases and is based in the UK.

John Hurlock has been making Daguerreotypes since 1956 and uses cold mercury development (the plates are developed in a vacuum where the mercury off gases at a high rate). Stereoscopic, botanicals, architectural and portrait images grace his website and now our galleries sections as well.
