About Me

I am a photographer using the 19th century wet plate collodion process. I produce tintypes, ambrotypes and glass negatives.In 2005 one of my Civil War Reenactor portraits graced the cover of National Geographic Magazine. I've done commercial work for various companies including Jack Daniels. I do fine art photography and my work hangs in many private collections. I also shoot digital, mainly doing production stills for film and video.Wet Plate and Digital Photography occupies most of my time but I am also a live sound recordist and have done work for Kurtis Productions and the National Geographic Channel as well as many commercial clients. I also have live concert sound experience as a technician and mixing.For fun these days I play music and have been playing bass for many years. I play electric and upright bass.Check me out at: RobertSzabo.Com or on ModelMayhem I also have a BLOG .
