Wetplate Weekend 19.-20. July 2014
PhotoWerkBerlin
The Wetplate Weekend is a journey into the amazing world of creating photographic images on glass, historically known as ambrotypes. This Collodion Workshop is held in Berlin‘s only
skylight studio surrounded by a lovely garden. Shooting with natural daylight creates a more pleasing image (in contrast to harsh artificial light), but also under such lighting, we will
learn the challenging issue of exposure control. The workshop includes instruction in all steps of the process, from the chemistry involved and glass preparation to troubleshooting and
elaborating your own unique images. We will work with different cameras and antique brass lenses creating our own ambrotypes that preserve this wonderfull weekend out of place
and time.
Deadline for application: July 13th 2014
