I took a one-day ambrotype workshop with John Mann (he's in New Mexico,
the workshop was in Phoenix) about a year ago. His version of the
process used a spray-on acrylic instead of collodian and a liquid
emulsion. The process was problematic even for him and the results
weren't great (though his personal work was much better, and it was only
a one-day introduction).
Fashion photographer Robert Maxwell uses ambrotypes. None of those are
on the web that I'm aware of, but here are some platinum prints made
with digital negs of the original ambrotypes:

http://membres.lycos.fr/aprosio/TECambr.htm#ambro (there's a
downloadable Word document on this site that compares his results using
different formulae).
Best of luck; I hope you're able to make this stunning process work for
you.

Subject: MODERN AMBROTYPES & THE WEB
greetings,
can anyone point me to some modern ambrotypes on the web? On my google
search i seem to only find 19th century or reenactments.
I'm interested in trying this process with modern imagery.
Thanks
mac
