Phillip Chin

Phillip Chin is a portrait photographer working between Vancouver and Toronto. Since 2012, he has been devoted to the 1850’s photographic process “wet plate collodion photography aka tintypes and ambrotypes. Chin uses an old wooden camera and shoots on metal plates and glass. Phil’s passion is capturing that one moment of time that the subjects shares with him. Phil is currently working on a few tintype projects. One is “Chinatown” where Chin will be expanding on prolific Chinese photographer Yucho Chow's work creating portraits of different members of the Chinese community. A fun project is “Cosplay” where Phillip creates portraits of people who dress up as their favourite costume characters. “Chef” is is creating legacy photos of Chefs across Canada who embrace their palette and country.

Phillip's talk will be about honouring our past to shape our future and being in the moment.
