A black & white portrait shot on traditional film and hand-printed in the darkroom is something special these days. There is a timeless quality that digital photography simply cannot match. Would you rather have the same as everyone else, or a portrait that is unique, exquisite and personal?

Photospace professional photographer James Gilberd specialises in black & white portraiture. This is done on film and carefully hand-printed by the photographer in the Photospace darkroom. Very few photographers in New Zealand currently work with this traditional method. By contrast, digital photographers are everywhere.

Sitting fees start at $80.00 for a studio sitting, more for a location portrait. Prices for hand-printed black & white enlargements start from $40.00

We have a special rate for actors, artists and musicians: please enquire.
We also shoot portfolio photos for models.

If you require a photo of yourself for internet or website use, for commercial purposes or for a social networking website, a dating service etc, our CV portrait package is a cost-effective way to get a professional digital portrait.
