The images from 'La Nature Morte' and 'The Pierrot' series are available for sale.
They are mounted in CBW Carbon Fibre handmade cases.
Commissions
Christopher Brenton West will undertake commissions to make your favourite portrait
or picture in to a pure silver hallmarked Daguerreotype. Simply send a digital file, print,
negative, or transparency and we will do the rest. A low contrast image works best ,
advice is given as to whether the picture will make a suitable Daguerreotype. Once
made the image is sealed behind crystal clear 2mm non reflective museum glass with a
machine cut brass spacer to avoid contact between the image and the glass. This sealed
unit can then be framed or put in a case.
Some feedback from some commission clients.

'A first glance the images look good and the images of the girls look great. The girl with her face turned away from the camera looks amazing! I am blown away at the detail both in her hair and in the background and sky, the area of concerned, worked out amazingly well clouds and all'. (Rosemary)
'I
have just unpacked the daguerreotypes. They look great. What a good job you've
done
on the framing and mounting
too. It all looks very classy and prestigious. I really appreciate all your
hard work, skill and craftsmanship.'
