Eric Thornton’s movable portrait project makes individual wet-plate photographs by hand, letting sitters observe the image-making process. The studio explicitly welcomes event and private-commission inquiries and describes working on location, offering a tactile alternative to a digital portrait session.

Current location note / listed area: New York City, New York; private portrait and event inquiries

Confirm current acceptance, location, event setup and sitter capacity directly. The homepage’s public residency dates have elapsed and include an invalid September date; its venue also differs from the About page. Those listings are not current walk-in availability. Finished portraits require washing, drying and varnishing, so same-day collection and a wedding package are not promised.
