Hi, my name is Jan Kratochvil
and I love to take pictures on wet plate collodion.
The fascination with this technique has not left me even after more than 11 years.

You can also have photos on collodion.

Did you know that collodion photos can be digitized and archived as well as digitally printed in a large size?

You might be interested in this blog post of mine from one of the collodion workshops.

Are you interested in collodion photo workshops - do you want to learn something new, creative?​

Whether you are a photographer or not, or you want to start learning historical techniques, or you want to penetrate the secrets of original photography before the existence of classic film, I give you the opportunity to attend one of my workshops.

Wet collodion workshop dates.

If you are interested in your collodion portrait or an individual or group workshop, please contact me.

One-day workshops in the studio:

Price: EUR 192/person.
The price for a joint couple is reduced to 4,000 CZK/person.
Start 9:00 am, estimated finish ~ 4 to 5:00 pm or as needed.
All materials (gloves included) and chemistry needed to complete the workshop are included in the price.
It is better to take worse clothes for a change of clothes or an apron. I will send you the details of the workshop by e-mail.
You can choose to shoot in a studio or outdoors.

If you live far away or need to arrive a day early or come for 2 days workshop, you can sleep in my studio - for free!
The offer is valid for the first person interested - before the accommodation is occupied.
