📸 Wet Plate Photography
1900s cameras and a portable darkroom
Available for portraits
📍Cardiff (but also Australia sometimes)

Back in Wales, and the dark room is back up and running (and so is this Instagram page).
Here are a couple of portraits from last week taken in my studio in Cardiff.
Looking forward to doing more, please get in touch if you’d like to stop through for a tintype or glass plate photograph.

Fantastic time doing a portrait commission with @anna.schneid.
…
Here’s some great pictures taken by @emtangles, showing the process, and who also assisted with the shoot. Big thanks!
…
Will be posting the finished plates a bit later in the year, and excited to share them!
…
Also, big thanks to @perthcentreforphotography for their continued support!

A plate of @badassstainedglass from a while back.
…
Loving the results from these experiments with reflection and creating multiple images of the same subject in one plate!

Was really pleased to be invited to @petal_pierce studio the other week to shoot some portraits.
…
Here is a shot I’m particularly pleased with!

Had a great time running my first Wet Plate Collodion workshop last week.
…
Here are some snaps taken by the great participants who brought in fantastic objects to photograph, creating some brilliant tintypes.
…
They also got to take portraits of each other on glass plates, taking home 2 original pieces that they got to create from start to finish.
…
Thanks to @perthcentreforphotography for setting up the space and allowing me to run this workshop, and thanks to @cinemachine for providing the lighting!

More shells!

All nicely finished and polished.
…
Both exterior shots just utilising natural light.
…
Happy with the results!
…
And luckily we live next to the beach, so plenty more to photograph!

Testing out the big boy lens today.
…
Bought it a while back, but haven’t tested it as much as I’d liked. It’s hefty, and pretty fast! Hardly any DOF.
…
Gets a nice picture though!
…
Thanks to my wife @badassstainedglass for sitting for this, when she really wanted to be working!
