Ambrotype — silver on glass | Warsztat Fotograficzny

We invite you to a photography workshop using the technique of ambrotype. Ambrotype (from the Greek “immortal photograph”) is one of the oldest positive photographic techniques, used since 1851, which allows to obtain one unique image without the possibility of making prints. Such a portrait on glass will be a souvenir for many generations — a picture can survive undamaged up to 180 years!

The meeting will take place in an intimate group, which will allow each participant to work independently with the technique, freely ask questions and receive individual support. The workshop is also designed for people without photographic experience.

The workshop will be led by Roman Kravchenko — a well-known and respected historian, photographer and educator from Ukraine. Since 2015, he has been running the Photography Workshop in Hartwigów Street. The artist not only takes pictures with noble photography techniques, but also restores their memory and shows subsequent generations how pictures were taken in the past. During his visit to Mr. Roman, he not only poses for the lens, but above all he learns about the history of photography, checks how cameras from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries work, or looks into the photographic darkroom. Under the guidance of an experienced photographer, you can also participate in the process of creating your own photo.
