Portrait Commissions: A Timeless Experience in Wet Plate Collodion Photography

Step into the enchanting world of 19th-century photography with a personalized portrait session that’s as much an experience as it is an art form. Using the wet plate collodion process, we’ll create timeless, one-of-a-kind glass plate portraits that blend history, artistry, and individuality.

What to Expect:
A Hands-On Journey: Spend up to three hours in the studio and darkroom, witnessing every step of this meticulous process. From preparing the plate to capturing the image and developing it in the darkroom, you’ll be part of bringing your portraits to life.

Four Unique Masterpieces: Together, we’ll create four original glass plates, each with its own distinctive character. Variations in composition and lighting make every plate an unrepeatable work of art.

Craftsmanship and Legacy: Every plate is hand-made, embodying the artistry and imperfection of this historic technique. Your portraits will hold the essence of a bygone era while capturing your own story in the present.

An Intimate Creative Experience: The session is more than a portrait sitting—it’s a collaboration. Explore the nuances of light, pose, and expression as we create your images together.

Whether you’re drawn to the artistry, the history, or the sheer beauty of this process, a wet plate collodion portrait commission offers a truly special way to celebrate yourself or a loved one.

Reserve your session today and step into the alchemy of photography’s past to create portraits destined to be cherished for generations.

Dates are flexible and include weekdays, weekends, and evenings.
