Tintype Photography
Chances are you never heard of these. But you may know of them.
This isn't vintage photography, it's antique! Wet Plate Collodion is commonly known as tintypes. I use the 160 year-old process to create photographs on metal and glass with real silver. Each one is completely handmade and unique. You cannot make copies and each one takes about 15 minutes create.
I am fascinated by the history and my connection to it.
I have several mid 1800's lenses and cameras that help me create these truly unique photographs that are as authentic as you. Let's create a handmade photograph that will outlive you and be something you can pass down to your grandchildren.
New Hybrid Technique
I've been developing a new hybrid technique with my old lenses and cameras, but with digital capture. I can now produce more portraits in a shorter amount of time and can do prints on-site as well. Check out this wedding HERE. It's the same image as with wet plates but I can do more in a shorter amount of time and get dependable and repeatable results.
Live Event Tintype Photo Booth
I am available to photograph these hybrid tintypes on-location at your event with ready-made 5x7 metallic prints! It is a really fun experience for guests. I give a lot of info about the process and my 140+ year old photo equipment.
It is also a really great gift for your guests that has a lot more value than a generic photo strip with some silly props.
