Jeroen Passchier

Jeroen Passchier graduated from the Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam in 2013, where he discovered the wet plate collodion technique. This alternative photography method, first developed in 1851 by Frederick Scott Archer, became the foundation of his artistic practice.

Working in Rotterdam, Passchier creates ambrotypes using wet plate collodion, producing unique handmade images with wooden cameras built on nineteenth-century principles. He explores contemporary visual language through this imperfect historical technique, drawing on past experiences and a broad knowledge of art to inform his work.
