The Wetplate Weekend introduces us to the wonderful world of wet plate photography, also known as ambrotype. David Puntel will demonstrate this historic technique across various genres, from portraiture to still life, at his newly opened studio in Berlin Treptow. We will learn all the steps of the wet plate process, working with different cameras, various formats (4x5"/5x7"/8x10") and historic lenses, with which we will capture our impressions on unique ambrotypes.
This intensive course is also suitable for beginners with no prior photographic experience and is limited to 4 participants. Drinks and all materials required to produce approx. 10 wet plates, which we can take home with us, are included in the price.

The Wetplate Weekend is a journey into the amazing world of creating photographic images on glass, historically known as ambrotypes. This Collodion Workshop is held in a newly opened studio for alternative techniques in Berlin Treptow.
The workshop includes instruction in all steps of the process, from the chemistry involved and glass preparation to troubleshooting and creating your own unique images. We will work with different cameras and antique brass lenses to create our own ambrotypes that preserve this wonderful weekend out of place and time.
