How does it work?

It's fairly simple, you book your vintage photoshooting session with us and we arrive with all the equipment required.

But here's a bit more detail about it:

​

What we bring with us:

 - Of course the 120 years old camera

 - Mobile darkroom (tent)

 - Full developing machine so we can really quickly hand you over the finished and dried photographs or

 - First stage developing machine + developer trays and external dryer for a hint of DIY show element

    (yes, the picture will reveal itself in your very hands!)

 - Any other necessary photo equipment such as lights, flashes, stands, tripods, etc.

 - Upon request: make-up artist / hair stylist

​

What we will need on-site:

 - Standard 230V AC electricity (max. 16A)

 - Water supply (at least a faucet to get a few litres of washing water)

 - At the very least 10m2 space for the mobile darkroom, machines, camera and lighting

 - 2 hours for setting up everything before the event and 2 hours for disassembling and packing after the event.

 

The photo shooting:

 - Setting up the models usually takes 5-10 minutes

 - Models will need to stay still only for about one minute between focusing and exposure

 - Exposure is fast, less than a second

 - Development of the photograph takes 6-8 minutes

 - We can take a new photograph about every 5 minutes

 - Watch the video!

​

Environmental and safety note:

  • We're using standard chemicals found in any ordinary photo lab

  • All chemicals are in a closed or controlled system posing no harm

  • For DIY development we provide gloves and tweezers

  • We protect our environment by collecting all used chemicals and handing them over to a licensed waste management professional
