Dear Simon,

Yes there is a instructor who could teach wet plate from scratch.
4 full days session which incl. outdoor and in door shoot.
Cost about $1,000 per person inclusive of 10 glass plates and necessary materials.
Min. 10 students to go.

It is costly because of material for wetplate is expensive.

Best Regards,
Gwen Lee

Documentary filmmaker and photography enthusiast Matt Morris recently noticed a magazine article about a tintype photographer named Harry Taylor based in his hometown of Wilmington, NC. Having recently gotten engaged, Morris and his fiancée decided to have Taylor shoot their engagement photos using the 150-year-old photo process. They ended up sitting for a 5-hour-portrait session, and Morris was stunned by the results.

A few months later, he decided to return to Taylors studio with two Canon 5Ds in tow and spent an afternoon documenting Harry’s work. The fantastic 4-minute documentary above is what resulted.

If you are going HK the next time, you might as well extend it by a few days to attend this WP workshop by Mr MK Ho. He do it on a 1:1 basis for about HK$7k for a 4 days workshop.
