Portrait photography with a Stenopeika 4x5" large format camera in a studio in Třebíč

In this blog post, I will share my experience with taking portraits with an analog camera - a large-format camera. 

We took the photo shoot in our studio in Třebíč.

The photoshoot process

I used a large format camera 4×5″ Stenopeik. This is a compact and lightweight camera that is ideal for travel and field photography. 

It's also easy to use, making it a great choice for beginners to large format photography.

Fcamera 4×5″ Stenopeik has several key features:

Compact and lightweight: It's the most compact and lightest large-format camera on the market, making it ideal for travel and field photography.
Easy to use: Designed to be easy to use even for beginners, it has intuitive controls and clear instructions.
Affordable: It's the most affordable large-format camera on the market, making it a great choice for photographers on a budget.

Developing a negative

I developed the negative in Ilford ID 11 developer in a darkroom. The development time was approximately 7 minutes.

 

Result

In this blog post, I publish a digital scan with slight edits - removing fine scratches and dust without major interference with the resulting photo.

Conclusion

If you like photography on film using analog technology, feel free to contact us and we can arrange an individual photo shoot. 
Here are my contacts.

Individual collodion workshop in summer 2026☀️A sample of photos on tin from a recent workshop in my studio! We used Stenopeika and Sinar camera 📷.Every photo is handmade and original, including mistakes that this process will not forgive you, and that's what makes it so special. 🤩I am happy to pass on my fifteen years of experience with collodion so that the "true" handmade photograph remains in our minds, as it was originally created. #tintype #collodion #workshop #sinar #stenopeika ...
