Comment from Kana : 

I get excited most when I shoot overhead. It is just more fun to play with the composition.

These images are from recent editorial works. 

Two of them (risotto and clam) weren't actually selected.

They chose other variations.

Artist Showcase / Kim DeLise - Wet Plate Collodion

The wet plate collodion process was the leading mode of photography
in the 1850's and 1860's. Ambrotypes are positive images exposed
onto blackened glass; tintypes are made the same way but onto
blackened metal.* The process is called wet plate because the plate
must be sensitized, exposed and developed all while the plate is
wet. The finished plates are one-of-kind three-dimensional objects.

I first learned the wet plate process from Eric Taubman and Keliy
Anderson-Staley at The Center for Alternative Photography
(www.capworkshops.org) where I work when I'm not working at T.R.E.C.
Rental. As a teacher's assistant, I help instructors at CAP conduct
workshops and get a first hand look at how to make photographs using
alternative processes. I made these plates during one of the wet
plate collodion workshops. As a student of the wet plate collodion
process, I am learning all of the intricacies of making plates
(estimating time exposures and trouble shooting when a plate doesn't
come out quite right). I am excited to continue to develop as a wet
plate photographer and make more plates!
