Field notes
The site describes a nineteenth-century wet-plate process in concrete studio terms: the plate is prepared, sensitised, exposed and developed as part of the sitting. Its archive presents numbered examples, including portrait and still-life plates, while the booking section currently lists a Stoke Newington location and twelve remaining places. Framing is offered as a possible addition, with the colour selection still marked for confirmation.
