We stumbled upon this photo studio by accident, and we were not going to have a photo session. But the photographer was very welcoming and described the process thoroughly, so we decided that we need this kind of photo. I think this is a unique place, because the photographer uses original technology from 19th century, almost everything is handmade. During the process, he described every step, and this was like additional excursion, so the cost is 100% justified. And, of course, we got a great photo!

If you find yourself in Prague for any reason at all and are looking for something original to do I highly recommend spending an hour or so with this wonderful photographer and artist and having your portrait taken with this wonderful, very different Tinotype process. The end result is an image on a metal plate that is a unique and beautiful object in itself. Honza is a fascinating, gentle person who will involve you in the whole process including the darkroom and processing of the image. He has a lovely little studio in a very nice part of town on the way up to the castle. We also had portraits of our children taken that were absolutely stunning and beautifully captured a moment in their lives that will be treasured for generations to come.
