Wet-Plate Collodion

Portraits made by hand.

Using a photographic process unchanged since 1851, Raoul crafts each portrait by hand in his Noosa hinterland studio. You will watch your image emerge from the chemistry in real time — and leave with a finished tintype, a luminous physical object made to last well beyond a lifetime.

Ready to sit for your portrait?

Step into the studio, hold still for a breath, and walk away with something no camera roll can give you — a one-of-a-kind original, made by light, silver and time.
