Highwic: Wet Plate Portrait Sessions


  • Highwic 40 Gillies Avenue Auckland, Auckland, 1023 New Zealand (map)

In partnership with the Auckland Festival of Photography, I’ll be taking my mobile darkroom (a 1950's Bond-wood caravan) to Highwic to craft timeless portraits using the wet plate collodion process, 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 glass or aluminium plate. 

The plates will be posted to clients once varnished & cured, a week or so after the session. Sessions last 45 minutes and are limited to 2 people per plate

Sessions are limited so please book early to avoid disappointment.

Price: $150.00

On view, will also be my exhibition Tinkering About, a series of wet plate collodion images captured recently in Australia and New Zealand.
