Making a BASIC Silver Gelatine Emulsion | Step by Step Tutorial | Analog Photography

In this Tutorial I will show you how to make a Basic Silver Gelatine emulsion from scratch. I will guide you step by step through the whole process including equipment, materials and many tips and tricks I learned on my emulsion making journey. It was invented way back in 1872 and became popular to the point where we can find it in pretty much every analog light sensitive material. The first time I made photographic emulsion was a few years ago when I was starting to reproduce the mysterious Autochrome. That emulsion was much more complicated than the one we will be making today as it had to be panchromatic (sensitive to the whole visible spectrum). Emulsion we will be making today is as basic as it gets following the 1880s recipe and was adapted to modern materials by Mark Osterman. This fine grain emulsion is sensitive to blue, violet and ultraviolet light. Speed of the emulsion can vary from batch to batch but in my experience it is somewhere around ASA 1-5 range. Enjoy watching :)
