Photography – Charlotte

John Huneycutt, an award-winning photographer and North Carolina native, currently lives outside of Charlotte. He earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Wingate University in 2004, and since then his work has been featured in both regional and national magazines, as well as museums. John’s wet plate photography generally consists of the natural world in and around his home state. Wet Plate Collodion is a 19th century, photographic technique that produces images on metal plates (tintypes) with the use of specific chemicals. John is one of a very few contemporary artists who have revisited and revived this photographic method. He uses period camera and lenses and hand-mixes all of the necessary chemicals for each exposure. The process is a laborious, hands-on technique that produces one-of-a-kind images with perfect authenticity.
