For the next generation…
Tintype Studio @ KABK

Such a nice and inspiring day at the KABK (The Hague, www.kabk.nl)
We shared some of our knowlegde and hopefully created a spark and passion for the process. We intended to ‘just’ do a demonstration or two, but ended up giving guidance to 25 students pouring their first plate, expose, develop, fix and varnish. So it was definately a ‘work’ shop (sweatshop) for us… The best results were not shot by us, but by these promising students! Thanks for inviting us. And special thanks to Deen van Meer, who made some nice shots of the gathering.

About

Designers and imagemakers, Went& Navarro are experimenting with an old photographic process from around 1850. It’s a real hands-on process called Wet Plate Collodion. It was not intended as so, but this seems to create the perfect balance between their (mostly) digital work and their designer fascination for the tactile. What started as a bit of an awkward hobby, now becomes a ongoing project that encourages them to explore the overlap between image and object. Find them on Facebook.

Of course making Tintypes and Ambrotypes is not all they do, so for other work you can check out www.wentennavarro.nl
