Tintype photos from the set of The Beguiled by Sophie Caretta.
The Collodion process is an early photographic process invented in 1851, an intricate process which requires the photographic material to be coated, sensitized, exposed, and developed within the span of @15 minutes. During the Civil War, it was the only choice for documenting the war and life at that time. Despite its shooting disadvantages and its laborious technique, its aesthetic qualities with imperfections define a mood and style grounded in the historical, physical qualities of photography.
It’s a moving process where anything can happen; scratches, erosion, pitting, stains can appear and/or disappear in a magical way. The interplay among clarity, strangeness, dreaminess, and wildness is the perfect reflection of The Beguiled.
The photographs themselves are tintype (metal plate), 8x10 inches.
bad pearl is real! last one was all ive ever wanted from an episode… thanks everyone for watching
here are my early concepts on mystery girl. kat, hilary, rebecca and me all worked together to make someone cool and hot. props to hilary for the motocyle idea and awesome car scenes.
i based her shirt off of an old band shirt my dad had that id steal and wear all the time to look cool in middle school. of course, she also had to have doc martens. i was calling her “sheena” in my head.. cause “sheena is a punk rocker”.. you know..
also, a secret that only comes to light now: i based her piercings off of a WoW character of mine. Nyeheh
im typing a lot cause it was really fun to design a character and work on that ep. wheee
