Recreating Photography of the 1850s in a Digital World
summary
Analyzes why wet collodion-era portraits look high-contrast and sunken by measuring silver halide/tonal response and reproduces those effects by modifying modern sensors and pipelines; performs PCA on a 3D color volume to reproject novel color-space data back into a usable image and reports convergence to three dominant components; builds a UV-sensitive digital rig that reveals unseen freckles and produces eerie glowing eyes; demonstrates the hacks with before/after portraits and quantitative contrast curves.
