An expedition
into portraiture
Step through time and leave your mark in silver on glass.

You are invited to begin an extraordinary journey — a portrait session where your story becomes part of something much greater than a moment captured.
Through the magic of silver, light, and glass, we forge not just images, but living echoes of who you are —
a mark in history, handcrafted for generations to come.
As Christchurch’s Photographic Alchemist, I handcraft authentic wet plate portraits using the original 19th-century collodion process.
Every plate is poured by hand. Every image is created with care. Every portrait invites you to step into an evolving legacy — one that began with the heroic age of Antarctic exploration and continues today with you.
