​

Ease and Convenience
Simply send your digital data from home, and you'll receive a glass wet plate photograph. This service is convenient even for those who live far from the studio and cannot visit in person.

​

Unique Artworks
Using traditional techniques and chemicals, we recreate your image with the distinctive tones and textures unique to wet plate photography. This fusion of modern and retro elements offers a new form of artistic expression.

​

Memory Preservation
Digital data can be easily lost, and printed photos are prone to deterioration. On the other hand, wet plate photographs are made from durable materials like glass and silver. This makes them an attractive option for preserving cherished memories in a long-lasting, beautiful form.

This service includes:

• Metal frame

• Wooden box (made from Paulownia wood)

• Digital data of the image

 

Important notes:

• The creation process requires optimal treatment depending on the sharpness and resolution of the image. We may not be able to produce a wet plate if the data size is too small. Please allow us to verify your data first.

• Wet plate photographs tend to appear darker compared to images on a monitor or printed photos. This is because while regular photographs are printed with dyes or ink on white paper, wet plate photography creates an image with silver particles on glass. Unlike white paper, the plates do not have a bright background, and even the brightest parts of the image are composed of silver. However, since silver reflects light, the image becomes more vivid and captivating when viewed under light. If you are interested, you can view samples at the studio.

• Wet plate photographs may feature spots or streaks within the image, a characteristic of the process. However, we ensure that important areas (such as the face) remain free of blemishes.
