Joni Sternbach makes contemporary photography with an equipment and technic unchanged used since the late 1850's. Her cameras are old 19th century view cameras and always with her on the shoots is a portable darkroom. The process she uses is called "wet collodion" and dates back to the late 1850's. The plate has to stay wet during the entire procedure. It is a bit unpredictable and many times you get very beautiful and unexpected surprises. Even though Joni uses this very rare, slow and unique technic, her work and her subjects are totally contemporary.
Please visit Joni's website for more info and more of her beautiful work to see and read the interview on Two Way Lens.

Two Way Lens is a project of interviews with international, contemporary photographers. Their answers to three simple questions about their career paths, presented in this project, should help, inspire and inform emerging photographers. The tips and advice provided will be of value to every young photographer. A new photographer/ interview is added to the project every month. The list of photographers already included is like a "whos who" of the contemporary fine art photography scene. As a reflection of this high value, Two Way Lens will be added to recommanded reading lists as a reference source for photography students at the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design. Two Way Lens is published and edited by the German photographer, Michael Werner.
