Tintype Portrait Sessions
Please note each session could take up to 30-45 minutes. I always like to shoot a test plate before I have you pose to make sure my chemicals and the lighting are all working right. This process has a mind of its own at times.
Backyard Special
This deal includes coming to my personal backyard for your portrait. There’s no minimum tintype purchase required for this kind of session
$75 per 4x5 tintype for the first 3, $50 per tintype after that.
$150 per 8x10 tintypes for the first 2, $100 per tintype after that.
Darkroom Comes To You
In this bundle I come to your backyard! Or another outdoor location that is okay with having a darkroom on site. This is the responsibility of the party booking. A travel fee is put in place if you are more than 15 miles away from my studio. The fee is dependent on distance.
You choose from 4, 4x5 tintypes or 2, 8x10 tintypes for $250. As always you may choose to purchase more plates day of or at time of booking

Things to note about this process for the best image possible:
You are requites to stay as still as possible. Breathing and blinking your eyes is okay, but the stiller you are the better the image will turn out.
This process might not be suitable for young children or pets. You could be sitting still for up to 10 seconds. We are also using harsh chemicals that would be toxic to anyone if not handled properly.
Blue Light coated/UV resistant glasses will look like SUNGLASSES. Freckles and sunspots will likely be intensified. Tattoos may disappear.
The color spectrum works different with collodion. This is a blue light seskitive process, blues will look lighter and reds will look darker. Textures and patterns look great in this process; lace, silk, camouflage, stripes.
