Wet collodion process – photographs on collodion

What is collodion photography? Please follow my Instagram  or the process of taking photos on collodion is also described on Wikipedia here.

  • Portrait creation on wet collodion or creation according to the subject of the order
  • The result of photography is an Ambrotype (a positive photograph on a glass plate, usually 2mm thick)
  • Historically, the lifespan guaranteed by proper preservation is at least about 150 years. Well-stored ambrotypes and tintypes can be found in museums and their quality is very good.

Sizes in cm and approximate prices for 1 piece positive collodion photo:

  • 6×6 cm……from 900,-CZK (Technology: Hasselblad)
  • 10×12.7 cm……from CZK 1,300 (Technique: Stenopeika Hyper Camera 4×5″)

Photographed in Třebíč, exterior or interior, at Bráfova tř. 160/18, 674 01 Třebíč.

As a standard, 2 exposures are made, from which the customer chooses which one he wishes to keep. The second exposure can be irreversibly removed from the plate in front of the customer, or it can be left to the author for presentational non-commercial purposes. Specific conditions regarding the preservation of the second plate are agreed on site at the time of the photo shoot.

Note: Photography using the historical wet collodion process technique is influenced by several external factors. If the photo shoot cannot take place on the agreed day, e.g. due to an unexpected reaction of the chemicals used, the photo shoot will be cancelled on that day and a suitable alternative date will be offered.

Contract content:

  1. The customer will receive a hand-lacquered photographic plate with a hand-painted or sprayed black base. /final delivery may change by agreement/
  2. After digitization, the customer will receive a scan of the original glass plate (in high resolution) by email for further use, e.g. digital printing.
