“Roog” tintype 13 cm x 18 cm

What we like to achieve in a portrait is the recognition of oneself in the image. An image can either be deceiving or reveal a reality that is hardly seen in daily behavior. To put a friend, the best you have in this galaxy, in front of the camera, is in that way scary and confronting. You never know what the image will reveal and if you’ll like it or not… In this case the image of Roog shows something rare and real, something truthful and loving. Not a smile to the outside world, but a thought accepted within.

"Bas" dark yellow glass ambrotype 18 cm x 24 cm
A portrait from our night in TROUW. We love this one. His blue hair appears as if it is blonde. His jewelry refers almost to a long forgotten empire from the past. His eyes closed, and his hands fragile, makes you think he is dreaming about the times he was ruler of the world. Thank you Bas, for this one!

Me! made by Arjen :) wow. The softness in this lens, a Sichel&co 12 3/8inch F3 petzval, is amazing. If anyone has more information about this lens, we’d love to know.

On the 21st of December we shot some nice plates at Nachtbazaar in TROUW, Amsterdam. Some people knew us from Magnet Festival earlier this year, but for a lot of visitors tinypes and ambrotypes were a totally ‘new’ thing. Our first ‘sitter’ that evening was an extraordinary man with his old terrier (which fell asleep during the six sec exposure…). And his picture came out perfectly, very aristocratic look and feel. It’s a shame we don’t have a picture of that plate…

A strange gathering, but nice indeed!

“The Bearded Man” dark yellow glass ambrotype 18 cm x 24 cm

Sometimes we have to push ourselves to imagine how man will appear on a plate.
Sometimes it’s hard to find the face that is silverworthy.
And sometimes we’re just lucky!

Whilst busy building and working on some new ideas, I almost forgot to post these beautiful faces of beautiful people we met and shot at Magnet Festival. I’m ashamed it took me so long.

Beautiful people
We share the same back door
And it isn’t right
We never met before

Need we say more?

Maybe it’s nice to say that we tried to make the shot of Alex look like an old tintype of is great grandfather.
And Barbara, we only need few lights to enlighten half of her face to see what a beauty she is!
