Studio Portraits
Portraits in wet plate collodion go one step beyond any other photographic medium. They have a depth and intensity which makes them objects of wonder. They seem to capture something which ordinary pictures don’t. What is it that makes a tintype portrait so special?

-
it’s the only photographic process available today which delivers an image made of pure metallic silver!
-
that metallic quality gives it a unique appearance, and amazing longevity
-
the colour sensitivity is biased towards blue and UV light which gives it a distinctive tonal signature
-
the optical qualities of vintage lenses and large format cameras contribute to the special look
-
wet plate collodion has no visible grain, so it’s possible to achieve incredible resolution
-
the slow and deliberate process requires a focus of attention on each image which contributes to a high success rate
-
the process involves the subject at every stage, making it a far more exciting experience than digital photography
