Follow us on Instagram: @swiss_wetplate

While we love the timeless process of wet plate photography, we’re also very much part of the now — and that includes being active on Instagram. Under the handle @swiss_wetplate, we share a curated glimpse into our analog world: plates fresh from the fixer, portraits that feel like time travelers, and the unique textures only collodion can deliver.

Here’s what you’ll find:

  • Studio moments & process clips
  • Finished plates in all their glory
  • Stories from the darkroom and the field
  • Features from collaborations and exhibitions

Instagram gives us a chance to tell these stories visually, share our latest work with a wider audience, and connect with other creators and analog enthusiasts around the globe.

We’d love to see you there:

Follow, comment, share — or just enjoy the feed in silence (we do that too).
