In "Reflecting the Bright Lights: Capturing a Moment with Silver Nitrate" Walter Hugo resurrects near-forgotten 19th century studio techniques to reanimate the traditional portrait with unpredictable results. Each unique image is painstakingly constructed on glass plates, with sitters from London's creative community entering his room-sized camera for the long exposure time.

Featuring Ollie Sim from The XX, artist Carson Mccoll and product designer Bethan Laura Wood.
