Photography without computers.

 

Because we can't trust what we see on a screen anymore


The tintype process allows us to connect to physical reality and preserve it for generations to come. It could be argued that tintypes are “more true” than any digital reproduction. I want people to step into the darkroom and witness the magical moment of revelation that occurs when a silver-based image develops in a chemical bath right before our eyes.

FAQ

What is a tintype?

Tintype photography is a process invented in the 1850s that involves coating a thin metal plate with light-sensitive silver particles. This plate is then placed into a camera and developed by hand resulting in a one-of-a-kind physical photo.

 

Can we retake the photo if it doesn't look good?

If the photo is deemed unacceptable due to a blink or some technical error, we will re-shoot the photo free of charge. If you are unhappy with the result due to aesthetic reasons, I'll be happy to add another photo to your session for $30.

 

Can I wear glasses in my photo?

 

Glare is not usually a problem, but some glasses have a UV coating that may cause the lenses to appear darkened in the photo as a result.

 

How many people can be in my photo?

Due to technical limitations of lighting and framing, photos are limited to 4 people at a time.
