Mac Cosgrove-Davies is a self taught photographer who since 1978 has been practicing historic photographic processes including gum bichromate, cyanotype, Van Dyke, palladium, carbon printing, oil printing, and wet plate collodion. Using antique and self-made film cameras and equipment in various formats (21/4x31/4, 4x5, 5x7, 6x8, and 8x10 inches as well as 5 inch panoramic), he seeks to make unique prints which match his images to the beauty and elegance of the selected photographic process.
