    Great kit really everything you need to get going. I can always rely on UVPhotographics to get me my kit so quickly. I'm liking the light shellac lavender varnish is so easy to work with making the varnishing plates less scary.

    Got me started with wet plate photography

    Posted by Eric McCammond on Dec 11th 2023

    I don't have access to a class in the local area and have been working on learning wet plate photography online and through books. It was at times all very intimidating but this kit had all the chemicals I needed to get started and eliminated a huge number of variables that could have caused it all to go wrong. I was considering mixing my own going forward but will likely try to maintain my silver bath and continue purchasing the rest of the chemicals pre-mixed from uvphotographics.
