The term “Ambrotype” comes from two Greek words: “immortal” + “impression”. And this is because Ambrotype is practically never aging. Photos made using this method are taken directly on a glass plate, processed with special reagents a few minutes before the time of shooting. These photographs, so, exist in one copy only. This way of creating photos was invented back in 1854, but the interest to it exists and now among professional photographers, despite its incredible complexity comparing even with traditional film photography.
