The collection of photographs is a digest of portraits taken in the course of the last two years. Faces of the sitters in silent timelessness, the esthetics of imperfection inherent in the antique photography process in contrast to the multitude of detail in the large-format image and the sleekness of its digital enlargement. Wet place collodion as both the means and a subject of photographic interpretation.

Honza Sakař
Born in 1979 in Karlovy Vary, studied at the Faculty of Education of the University of South Bohemia. Lives in Prague and is currently in the third year of the Bachelor‘s degree of Creative Photography at the Institute of Creative Photography in Opava.
His main focus lies in portraiture and documentary photography with the occasional landscape when travelling. Most of his work is done in black & white by both analogue and digital methods, preferrably using large format cameras and antique photographic processes. These interests combined led him to open his own wet plate collodion portrait studio in Prague earlier this year.
