New York-based photographer James Weber recently shot a series of portraits of WWE wrestling superstars using the 1800s wet plate collodion process. Wet Plate Tech: Rico Elvina. Wet Plate Tech: Jesse Mata. Here's a 2-minute behind-the-scenes video showing Weber in action:You can find more of Weber's work on his website, gallery, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and Instagram. The wrestlers visited the set in between wrestling for crowds, and posed in front of Weber's massive 8×10-inch wet plate camera, which features a lens from 1875 — that's just 10 years after the Civil War.
