[color=#999999]Wet-plate collodion photography – large-format ambrotypes[/colo
?
[color=#999999]In this workshop, we delve into the wonderful world of Frederic Scott Archer,[/colo
[color=#999999]who, in 1851, replaced the daguerreotype with the so-called ‘wet plate process’.[/colo
[color=#999999].[/colo
[color=#999999]Together, in our Kreuzberg studio, we will discover the secrets of this fascinating &[/colo
[color=#999999]long-forgotten form of photography & breathe new life into it.[/colo
.
[color=#999999]From cutting and grinding glass plates to the preparation & application of the individual mixtures[/colo
[color=#999999]for the alchemical process & working with large-format historical wooden plate cameras,[/colo
[color=#999999]the path leads us to the [/colo
[color=#696969]"magical moment"[/colo
[color=#999999] in which, before our very eyes, a unique, one-of-a-kind piece,[/colo
[color=#999999]the portrait on glass plate, comes into being. The ambrotype.[/colo

If you’re interested, I look forward to hearing from you..
