Emma Brown

Artist in Residence: July - August 2023

Emma Brown is a Surrey based Wet Plate Collodion photographer. Working with one of the earliest photographic processes she hand-makes unique photographs on metal and glass in a portable darkroom which she will be bringing to Watts Gallery - Artist Village for her residency this summer.

Through her art, Emma explores the connection between the human spirit and the elemental essence of the landscapes she captures. With her meticulous attention to detail and the unique aesthetic offered by the wet plate collodion process her evocative work transports viewers through time, bridging the past and the present, while also shedding light on the ever-changing relationship between humans and their environment.

Emma's journey exploring this process has been supported by the Arts Council and recognised by prestigious international exhibitions and awards, solidifying her position as an emerging talent in the world of wet plate collodion photography.
