Highwic: Wet Plate Portrait Sessions


  • Highwic 40 Gillies Avenue Auckland, Auckland, 1023 New Zealand (map)

On select days during the 2025 Auckland Festival of Photography, I will be crafting timeless portraits at Highwic 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. 

The finished plates will be posted out to clients once varnished & cured, a week or so after their session. 

Sessions last 45 minutes and are limited to 2 people per plate.
