As part of the Auckland Festival of Photography, photographer Adrian Cook brings his 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.
Plates will be posted to clients once varnished & cured, a week or so after their 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 Adrian's exhibition 'Tinkering About' a series of wet plate collodion images recently captured in Australia and New Zealand.
