Frame Details
Specifications are the same for Ambrotype (M) and Tintype (M).
Modern Frame
Choosing the right frame for a wet plate photograph is not easy. The overall impression can change significantly depending on the balance between the image and the frame.
After testing many options, we selected a frame that harmonizes naturally with wet plate photography and presents it with understated elegance.
The slim dark gray border quietly enhances the atmosphere of the work.
Simple Frame
This is our standard specification to ensure safe handling of your artwork.
Since glass or aluminum plates can be difficult to handle on their own, each piece is set in a simple protective frame. It is delivered in a wooden case, with a display stand 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 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.
