Highwic: Wet Plate Portrait Sessions

1 JUN - 2 JUN

On select days during the 2024 Auckland Festival of Photography, photographer Adrian Cook will be crafting timeless portraits 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.
