Wet Plate Portrait Session

The wet plate collodion process is a 19th-century method of development that predates film photography. Each image is hand-crafted, producing an original direct-positive image on a sheet of aluminium plate. Participating in a tintype session and seeing the alchemic process as images appear on the plate is captivating; an experience that few people now have the opportunity to witness. At the end of the session, you will leave with a unique and original hand-made portrait and a complimentary digital file of your image. Limited to two persons per plate.

Bookings essential.

This event is part of Auckland Heritage Festival 2022.
