Have you become intrigued about the unique adventure of this process? I would suggest you Google it or You Tube it for more information. Feel free to ask me questions or discuss any ideas you might have about a photo session. You can get in touch with me at ironysmuse@gmail.com or text 828.620.8811 and we can discuss making a unique portrait for you. A wet plate session typically takes from one hour up to two hours for 1-3 plates but you are only sitting still for a few seconds.
Clothing
I do not provide 19th Century Clothing per se. I do have some interesting props, and some clothing that I will post photos of on the website in the future. I do have some Top Hats, Bowlers, vintage ladies hats, and other unique clothing, if you like. Consult with me on what you are wearing. Generally, blue colors photograph as light and some other colors like red, green, and yellow photograph as dark shades.
