Old Processes, New Advertising

I think some reasons for the nostalgic return to nineteenth-century processes is that most photographers think it’s boring to just add a filter to a photo on programs like Instagram. The photographers most likely wanna be more in-touch with the nineteenth-century style of doing things like using the daguerreotype or the wet-plate collodion. They also most likely think that just using a filter on a photo app isn’t as creative or just want to be more creative and learn new things about photography. It also could just be that this type of way of taking photos are just something that can be trending or “in style” and people want to take pictures the nineteenth-century kind of way.
