Photographic Alchemy…
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 one of a kind. Each portrait invites you to step into an evolving legacy — one that began with the heroic age of Antarctic exploration and continues today with you.
Step inside and explore.
Book your handcrafted portrait session. Appointments are available now by request in Kinsey’s Den & Darkroom, with immersive events launching July 2025.
