I'm Kyle McMillin. I make photographs on metal and glass, by hand.
Whoever you are, you're welcome here, with all the memories and experiences you bring. In wet-plate, I’ve found a way to join that welcome with my lifelong fascination with image-making: painting, and film, and what became the camera, light passing into a dark room and casting the world on its wall.
Approaching an image is always the same. We pour a plate, plan our frame, and wait for light to gather in the stillness of the exposure.
I work with people marking occasions of all kinds: engagements, anniversaries, pregnancies, births, landmark moments of change, or the end of a life. And sometimes just making a mark.
My studio sits on the shore in Kingston, WA, in a workshop-garage that overlooks the water. You can see Seattle in the distance.
