Francesco Mastalia is a photographer who takes portraits of people using an old and beautiful photographic technique from the 1850s, called the wet plate collodion process.
\\n\\n\\nThe photographs are taken on glass plates, and Mastalia uses a large format wooden camera and antique brass lens. The glass plates are hand coated to produce images that are each individually unique -- yet possess an ethereal-like quality in all.
\\n\\n\\nFor his new book "Yoga: The Secret of Life," Mastalia met and photographed more than 100 of the world\'s most renowned yogis, asking how they came to yoga and what it means to them.
\\n\\n\\nIn doing so, the project seems to have left a profound effect on his own life.
\\n\\n\\nMastalia joined me on Olympic & Bundy to talk about the enchanting wet plate collodion process, how this project positively impacted his own life, his photography style versus digital photography and more!
