John Barrett is a fine art photographer with a rare eye for creating powerful, atmospheric images. John uses original techniques dating
back to when photography was invented.
With years of experience and a deep mastery of historic photographic processes, he produces portraits and fine art prints that feel
timeless, intimate, and quietly dramatic.
Each portrait session is crafted as an experience. Slow, intentional and immersive resulting in soulful one-of-a-kind images that
go far beyond the ordinary.
His unique portraits have been likened to capturing ones soul on a plate creating a wonderful experience and something unexpected
to be discovered and treasured.
His prints whether original one off silver gelatin or larger museum quality giclee prints are mesmerizing in tone, detail and mood and suspense…
Get in touch if you would like to discuss a special sitting in front of a Victorian camera or if you are interested in a one off original silver gelatin print or a more modern giclee print.
Wet Plate Portraits
Wet plate portraits are one-of-a-kind images created by coating glass or metal plates with light-sensitive collodion, requiring exposure and development within 10–15 minutes while still wet. Developed in the 1850s, this meticulous process produces unique, high-contrast,
and often moody images with
distinct aesthetic imperfection

I shoot various camera systems from vintage wet plate caneras from the 1860’s to Hasselblads, Rolleiflexes and Leicas from the 1950’s and 1960’s for that real vintage aesthetic quality.
