This is a new Video made by Patrice Lesueur. 

He acompannied me in the past few months during several wet plate shoots.

It gives you an insight how this process works behind the scenes.

The making of " Icarus....."

Idea's can pop up in my mind but stay there for months.

This was one of those.
I made this picture in my mind already a dozen times before and now it is ready
it's not exactly what I was expecting.

It's not a bad plate but still not exactly what I am looking for.

Actually this plate got by far the most likes and has been shared hundreds of times.
So in the coming weeks I will have a remake of this one.

Thanks to Patrice for the digital files!
