In this workshop, you come to my studio and we work together with historical cameras and Petzval lenses.
We create portraits using the collodion wet plate process. You take the plates you create home with you.
Optionally, I’m also happy to come to you; please send a separate inquiry for that.

Prices for single or two persons full day workshop start from 930 Euros
