19th century portrait experience…

We create authentic wet plate collodion portraits, a 19th Century technique that creates one-of-a-kind handcrafted images on a glass or aluminium support, using original cameras made from 1861 till 1905.

Come and live a unique experience of a wet collodion portrait, a photographic technique discovered in 1851.

During 1h, you are very welcome to follow us in the darkroom during the session, being witness of the process and live the full experience, from the initial preparation of the wet plate to the final development of it.

At the end, you receive the original plate and a hight resolution digital file of the picture.
