NOAH DOELY AMBROTYPES

The best part about this series from San Diego MFA student, Noah Doely, is that these are made in 2011 and not 1865. According to Juxtapoz, Doely’s “recent body of work titled ‘A Natural History’ constructs fictional narratives derived from prominent figures such as Charles Darwin and their research around life sciences. Beginning first by carefully crafting scenes that the artists constructs himself, Doely then uses the ambrotype photographic process with a wet collodion plate to capture an image that feels as old as the subject matter he investigates.”
