Eloise uses wet plate photographic processes.

Wet plate processes were popularised in Australia in the 1850s (the ambrotype (on glass) in 1854 and the tintype (on metal) in 1858). Eloise’s camera-original ambrotypes, tintypes (including aluminium tintypes) and glass plate negatives are both historical (hand sensitised using a silver nitrate solution, for example) and contemporary (shot using modern lenses and or lighting, for example), as are her gelatin silver prints. This locates Eloise’s photographic art in the past as well as the present, and this colocation enables feminist revisionings of history and the patriarchive.
