More about your Teacher nuno marcelino
I have been a professional photographer for passion, over the past ten years and have dedicated myself to the Wet Collodion process, and I have already provided this experience to thousands of people that I have portrayed with this process invented by Mr. Frederick Scott Archer in 1851.
The Alchemy Studio Porto was born in March 2022, in Porto, was created with the purpose of a space dedicated to the practice of photography with the wet collodion process. In addition to a 19th century portrait studio, is dedicated to the teaching, divulgation and artistic development of this process invented in 1851, bringing it back to the present day.
