Introduction to wet collodion in studio conditions" workshop

An "Introduction to wet collodion with Thomas Halkin" workshop will introduce you to the mid-19th-century method of silver plate photography. Collodion was the first technique to democratize photography, particularly portraiture.

Still a rudimentary technique, it requires continuity between chemical preparation, shooting and developing, which gives it a special charm today.

The workshop will first cover the history of the practice, as well as the safety aspects of collodion, before the realization of a first image. Thomas Halkin will show you how to handle a view camera and what to do in the lab. He will then pass the baton to participants, who will produce at least one plate under his supervision and a portrait of another participant. At the end of the workshop, the plates will be scanned, and participants will be able to pick up their plates the following day. Workshops last 3 hours with a break, with a maximum of 4 participants.
