LoFi was invited to the studios of Dark Box Photography<\/a> to make some wet plate collodion images. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The “Dark Box” in this instance is their travelling darkroom in the shape of a well known police box – just the right size to pour the collodion plates , sensitise them in the silver bath and develop after exposure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dark Box’s director (and LoFi member) Gregg McNeill<\/a> generously showed us round his studio and lighting set up before letting us loose on his beautiful victorian cameras. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A very enjoyable day even with all the covid secure measures! A collodion club when possible would be wonderful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our guided efforts turned out very well but please look at the Dark Box portfolio<\/a> to see just how beautiful the unique plates can be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dark Box is available for portrait sessions in the studio and on location – full details can be found on their website.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
