The CHB Museum: Wet Plate Portrait Sessions

  • The Central Hawkes Bay Museum

  • 9th April 2024

  • 10am - 3pm

This April, I’ll be taking my mobile darkroom (a 1950's Bond-wood caravan) down to the CHB Museum in Waipawa to craft timeless portraits using the wet plate collodion process, a 19th century method of development that predates film photography. 

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
