WORKSHOPS
I believe the historical photographic techniques are the most beautiful, exciting and mysterious form of photography and their tradition should be continued and kept alive.
If you would like to join me in this endeavour and would like to find out more about the techniques I’m using, I would be happy to share my knowledge and introduce you to WET PLATE COLLODION or CYANOTYPE process.
If you need advice on how to use medium or large format camera, construct a pinhole camera or develop b&w film, I can help with these too.
I provide one on one weekend workshops in a lovely scenery of Wicklow Mountains (great break from a busy city and conventional photography techniques)
As I am based in Glencree, the best way to get here is by car, but contact me if you need help with transportation and I can collect you from a convenient place.
All materials, equipment and lunch are provided.
To schedule a workshop contact me at

or 086 078 3053
To see samples of my collodion & cyanotype works please visit my portfolio galleries.
WET PLATE COLLODION
is a 19th century photography process of pouring Collodion onto a plate of thin iron or glass, then exposing it in a large format camera and developing the plate while it is still wet.
This technique creates One-of–a–Kind photographs with a very unique aesthetic, which can’t be reached by any other photographic process.
During the workshop you will learn and practice how to create in-camera positive images on glass.
It is a hands on technique, where everything is made by you, begining with the light sensitive material for recording the image (sensitised glass plate), to the final protective varnish, giving the print its lifetime durability.
Generally it would be a minimum one day, intensive workshop, but it can be tailored to meet your personal interests and needs.
CYANOTYPE
is one of the oldest techniques of creating an image on paper with a use of light. Originally cyanotypes were used to create photograms by laying the subject directly on the photo sensitized paper, which exposed to sun gives white silhouettes on a prussian blue ground. Today also film or digital negatives can be used for cyanotype printing. Blue color can be changed to brown or black by tonning (i.e in tea or coffee)
It is a straightforward but very enjoyable technique.
No photographic experience required.
For forthcomming group workshops check news/events section or contact me directly.
