Top Sintra Art Classes

We really enjoyed the experience. A kind and enthusiastic host, who clearly loves photography and knows a lot about it. Very happy with the end result!!

First of all, amazing concept where you leave with a truly one-of-a-kind memento! We were warmly received by the hosts, and guided through the entire process of wet-plate collodion photography from the 1850s. We clearly saw their knowledge and passion for the craft.We especially loved how we got to see - in just a few seconds - the negative photo came to life right in front of our eyes in the darkroom (and we got to capture it on video!)We came with our own clothing we wished to use for the photos, but they also have a wardrobe full of clothing, hats, and accessories true to that time period (which is convenient). They give the photograph in a nice box for protection, and guidance on how to care for it. We will definitely come back and do this as a yearly experience. Overall, perfectly executed.

This was a fantastic experience - Filipe and Vera were very kind and accommodating, and both have excellent photography knowledge and skills! We learned so much about the photography process, and had a lot of fun at the same time. I would recommend this experience to anyone interested in photography or wanting a unique photograph.

Amazing experience! Informative, interactive, and our photos turned out wonderful. Felipe and Vera were so nice to us and our 8 year old.

It was fantastic! We loved the photographs, the entire setting and the story. Filipe and Vera explained the entire process, involving us in the experience and making this trip to the past an unforgettable moment! Repeating!

I went with my friends to take a photo at the time of the “Peaky Blinders” and the photo turned out fantastic. It was also possible to see the entire process of wet colodium photography and travel through time. Filipe and Vera are very friendly and explain everything with a joy that shines through in their work. I loved!! It's a magical experience!! 10 out of 10 experience!

Seeing the entire photographic process from start to finish and being able to wear period clothes to travel through time is fabulous. Vera and Filipe are very friendly and make us feel comfortable. It's a magical experience!!

We loved our time in the photo studio, Filipe was wonderful and explained the whole history pf photography to us. We came in period costumes that we found at home but he also has a few pieces and hats at the studio.We took two plates of photos and even had pur dog pose with us! Can highly recommend, something to remember...

A unique and unmatched experience. Felipe and Vera transmitted love and magic through their work. It was a wonderful trip back in time, the studio is set to the period in every detail and I felt like a child choosing the costumes. It is an experience that I would recommend without hesitation. The love, dedication and human warmth that Vera and Felipe transmit is also worth highlighting. Simply thanks!!!!

Whether you’re a local or visitor, this is absolutely worth your while. It was unique, affordable, and memorable. The hosts had a very relaxed and welcoming demeanor. They were knowledgeable about the craft and we walked away with a keep-sake that we both are positively in love with. The entire process was fascinating and they packaged the product in a box for us, which made traveling much easier. I recommend!

Such an incredible learning experience and a beautiful piece of history to take home with us! The hosts were both so lovely and friendly.

When neg for turning pos. True magic. Wow! And somehow, when I was waiting to see ny grandmother there, it was really suprise, I saw myself. This was really cool and uniq experience in Sintra. Something completely different to bring home from your trip. Forget the sardines for one hour, and go and learn this very cool way to take One Photo which gonna last forever. It is ready now for my funerals as well (laughing).

This was an awesome way to spend an hour and incredibly fun. The owners are super friendly and knowledgeable. We got to dress up in old-timey clothes, take a really cool photo, and watch the process to develop it.10/10 will recommend to all of my friends.

This was such a unique experience! I am so glad I found it. We celebrated my 50th birthday and what better way than a family experience. We learnt so much about the process, Filipe has mastered the wet plate collodion technique and we were about to see the whole process. It is amazing. Taking the pictures was such a fun experience with the ability to dress up if you wanted to. It was so fun to go back in time for a few hours! My one child just loves history and it was one of the best experiences they had ever had. Filipe was calm, cool and so accommodating. Thank you so much

By far one of the more informative and fun experiences we have had on our trips to Portugal! Filipe and Vera are very welcoming, and knowledgeable about historical process. It was magic to see the prints develop, and is one of the reasons I love analog photography. However, you don't have to be knowledgeable about photography to thoroughly enjoy this experience- you will not forget it.

Filipe and Vera have found a shared passion and do a wonderful job sharing it with anybody who's interested. The whole process, from preparing the slides to posing to developing the photos, is fascinating. We learned a lot about photography and its various techniques. Filipe and Vera were lovely to spend time with and we really enjoyed our experience. Plus, our photo turned out great and we got to leave Sintra with a really unique souvenir!
