・If I find any defects such as blinking or being out of focus after the shoot, I will redo the shoot at no cost.

・Glasses will look a little darker, like lightly tinted sunglasses.

• For portrait sessions, we use powerful strobe lighting to capture natural expressions.
If you are visiting with young children, please keep this in mind.

Simple Frame

This is our standard specification for safely taking the photograph home.

As a glass plate or aluminum plate alone can be difficult to handle, the photograph is placed in a simple frame for protection.

It is provided in a wooden case. A display stand is also included.

Optional Add-ons

Color Print (+¥3,000)
You can order a color print taken in the same composition as your ambrotype.
It is stored inside the lid of the wooden box, so when you open the box, you can enjoy both the wet plate photograph and the color image together.

Full-body Color Portrait / Mounted Print Finish (+¥10,000)

Wet plate photography mainly focuses on upper-body portraits.

For those who would like to capture a full-body image or preserve their outfit, we offer an additional color photoshoot with a simple background.

This option is also recommended for those wearing kimono or dresses.

 

You will receive approximately 30 edited images, along with two 2L-size (5×7″) prints mounted on presentation boards. These will be delivered at a later date.

Pickup is available at the studio, or shipping can be arranged.

 

If you would like to add this option, please let us know at the time of booking, as preparation is required.
