Photographer Adrian Cook produces captivating images of his subjects using 100% authentic 19th-century wet plate techniques.
Using equipment and techniques developed in the 1850s, photographic plates are individually coated and sensitised in the darkroom before being exposed and developed while wet. Once fixed, washed and dried they are then coated in a gum sandarac varnish that preserves and protects them for generations.
Participating in a tintype session and watching the alchemic process as images appear on the plate, is totally captivating; an experience that few people now have the opportunity to witness. Following the session, the one-off, original portrait will be varnished before you receive it along with a complimentary digital file of your image at a later date.
Come along to learn about the wet plate collodion process on the following dates and book in for a special portrait session of your own!
Sunday 14 August, 10am-4pm
Sunday 13 November, 10am-4pm
Sunday 12 February, 10am-4pm
Sunday 14 May, 10am-4pm
Portrait sessions are $150 and include entry to the Live Day. Bookings are highly recommended as the sessions per day are limited.

Morrin Cooper paying homage to one of his influences, the late-great Chet Baker, extraordinary trumpet player, jazz composer and vocal stylist of the US. No one sounds like Chet Baker. Morrin Cooper, too.
Morrin was of course our much-loved Mayor of Howick from 1974 to 1989 (retired undefeated after five terms), and many will know he’s been a professional musician, too, since the 1950s.
He tells of tours in the great days of live concert-hall shows, such as trumpeting in the band that backed The Platters in 1959.
The photo is of Morrin at the commemoration plaque of where Chet Baker died. It’s in Amsterdam, Netherlands. He passed out of a hotel window two storeys up. Morrin went to the room.
The picture of the two great trumpeters is in the Bill Mudgway Studio at East FM, where Morrin Cooper has the highly-recommended Howick-Citing Jazz Show on Sundays at 11am and Mondays at 2pm. The show would be in its 13th year.
Howick-Citing was also the title of Morrin’s magic jazz group back in the day. He’s also a past-president and life member of the Auckland branch of the NZ Musicians Union, ex-chairman-manager of the Tauranga Big Band, and chair of the Dame Malvina Major Foundation in Auckland.
Readers may have noticed, too, that our Morrin has popped up in a bank ad on television recently. “Hello, matey”, he says.
The other photo here is of Morrin with another amazing New Zealand trumpet player, multi-instrumentalist, and composer Finn Scholes, after Finn's gig with Carnivorous Plant Society at Uxbridge Arts and Culture in Howick in recent years.

Wikipedia says of Chet Baker:
Chesney Henry “Chet” Baker Jr. (December 23, 1929 – May 13, 1988) was an American jazz trumpeter and vocalist. He’s known for major innovations in cool jazz that led him to be nicknamed the "Prince of Cool".
Baker earned much attention and critical praise through the 1950s, particularly for albums featuring his vocals: Chet Baker Sings (1954) and It Could Happen to You (1958). Jazz historian Dave Gelly described the promise of Baker's early career as "James Dean, Sinatra, and Bix, rolled into one".
