ROBB KENDRICK
Robb Kendrick is a photographer whose work appears
regularly National Geographic as well as other
publications. Kendrick's true passion has become wet
plate photography, a historic photo technique used
during the mid-19th century. The tintype photos made
with the wet-plate process are each one of a kind as
they are all handmade from start to finish. His most
recent wet plate project documents the working cowboy
in 14 Western States, Mexico and Canada for National
Geographic December 2007 issue. The photos are
collected in a new book Still: Cowboys at the Start of the 21st Century. Kendrick's first book of tintypes
was Revealing Character, which is also a touring exhibition that is being featured at eight major museums in the U.S.

Kendrick moved to San Miguel de Allende, a colonial town in Central Mexico two years ago with his wife, writer Jeannie Ralston, and their two boys. They intend for their kids to become bi-cultural and they wanted more time together as a family. Kendrick is also pursuing personal projects in tintype in Mexico.
