Wet Plate Portrait Sessions

Highwic from Highwic - Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga

Wet Plate Portrait Sessions with Adrian Cook
When: Saturday 31 May & Sunday 1 June, sessions from 10.30am - 3pm

Cost: $125pp. Bookings essential (entry to the house included)

Photographer Adrian Cook crafts timeless portraits using the wet plate collodion process, a 19th century method of development that predates film photography. Each image is hand crafted, producing an original direct-positive image on a sheet of glass or aluminum plate.

Adrian will be on site at Highwic on Saturday 31 May & Sunday 1 June as part of the Auckland Photography Festival. Book in to get your portrait taken using this very special process.

The finished plates will be posted out to clients once varnished and cured, a week or so after their session. Sessions last 45 minutes, and are limited to 2 people per plate.

A selection of Adrian images will also be free to view on display in the Billard House, and bookings include entry to visit Highwic.
