Imperious 53 / J.L. Graham
J.L. Graham’s Imperious 53 creates individual metal-plate photographs through the wet-plate process. The artist explicitly accepts wedding and private-party inquiries and also hosts portrait sessions at a Lakewood Ranch studio, where the image is developed by hand.
Current location note / listed area: Lakewood Ranch, Florida; onsite work by arrangement
Wedding and private-party service is explicit. Confirm group arrangements, setup and delivery timing; plates require drying and varnishing after the sitting. High-powered flash and a short period of stillness may affect suitability. This is genuine plate photography, not a digital antique filter.
