Co-Mo Co-Mo is many things all rolled into one : specialty coffee, fashion design, gallery, craft space… What does “Co-Mo” means?

Tucked away in a small alley in the heart of Vientiane, Co-Mo is many things all rolled into one : specialty coffee, fashion design, gallery, craft space…
Co-Mo is setting out with the aim to create a space in Vientiane that encourages community in an accessible creative space, promoting events with focus on social inclusion and diversity. CO is collectif: 4 people linked by the love of art and

architecture that wanted to create a community-based cultural venue and creative space. MO is Moderniste: the members of Co-Mo founded a project aiming to create a corpus on Modernist architecture in Vientiane, through in site visits, archival research…

This past week was something really special at Co-Mo: Nico Sepe took almost 40 portraits using the wet-plate collodion technique
Wet-plate is a temperamental (yet incredibly rewarding) technique, which made the first couple of days quite eventful. But part of the fun was improvising solutions together along the way. But what we enjoyed most, though, was taking the time to sit with each of you, to talk, to pose, and then share that almost magical moment when the image slowly appears in the fixer.
Thank you, so so much, to everyone who came and trusted us with your portrait, sometimes under the heat, in conditions that asked a lot of you. Your presence truly made this week.

And of course, a HUGE thank you to Nico Sepe, for coming all the way to Laos, for the stunning portraits, and for sharing his knowledge and time with such generosity.
All the portraits are now safely packed. We will be contacting each of you individually to share your images.

Today was all about discovering the (quite intimidating) complexity of wet plate collodion, a photo technique of many parameters, known for being temperamental, through a day-long workshop.

Through the brilliant guidance of Nico Sepe and Chaianun Tom Boonsungnoen, the day unfolded with laughter, art, and deep discussion, all while bringing this old (yet-new to us) technique to Laos. The 7-hour workshop passed in the blink of an eye following the rhythm of plates preparation, posing, and working in the darkroom.

A HUGE thanks to Nico and Tom for their exceptional teaching. Thanks to Dam Dam for hosting, and thanks so so much to Lao Lang Film for sponsoring.

This is a day we will all remember!

Our week-long marathon ofCollodion portraits is progressing well! Master Nico Sepe is now also doing portraits on black acrylic. They are sturdier than the glass ones and don’t need a black background.

What a wonderful day with the one and only Nico Sepe!

There is nothing quite like watching an image appear from scratch, it feels almost magical! Nico’s portraits are stunning, and honestly, our phone photos don’t do them justice. The depth and beauty of the real-life plates are on another level.
A huge thank you to Nico for the experience! And to those who booked portraits this week, we are so happy to see you and share this experience with you! ✨

Still dreaming of those green vibes at Sonnabod Cafe... 🌿✨

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for the latest SUAI session. Seeing so many different communities connect in such a lush, peaceful spot was exactly what we envisioned.

A special shout-out to our hosts at Sonnabod Cafe — thank you for opening your doors and, more importantly, for bringing your infectious good mood and energy to the event! ☕️☀️

Our trio Simbo, Tmi, and Selecta Hoa kept the inspiration flowing with a mix of local Lao & Thai treasures on vinyl and tropical gems on the decks. 🎶📻

In collaboration with CoMo Lao and Hape, we’re growing this dream step-by-step: bringing people together in Vientiane through the magic of sound. The event might be over, but the inspiration stays with us. See you at the next one! 🇱🇦🌴

In an era when most photographs live and die on a screen—made, shared, forgotten in the span of a scroll—Bangkok-based Filipino photographer Nico Sepe is offering something stubbornly physical: portraits created the way the medium once insisted they be made, with chemistry, patience, and a certa...
