Contemporary Daguerreotypes

 

 

 

...


René Smets, an interior designer, is interested in all types of photography--especially the old processes. He began making daguerreotypes in 1983. In addition to building his own equipment, he has had to make his own plates because he cannot find capable platers in Belgium. Recently, René built a fuming box for using iodine and bromine together.
