For those of you interested in vintage photographic techniques, I will be holding wet plate portrait sessions at the Thames Museum in celebration of "History Alive Day"
Using equipment and techniques developed during the 1850’s, plates of glass or aluminium are individually coated and sensitised before being exposed and developed while wet. Once fixed, washed and dried they are then coated in a gum sandarac varnish that preserves and protects them for generations.
The finished 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
