Bring home a singular, archival work of art crafted using the very method that captured memories in the 1850s.
A tintype isn’t just a photograph—it’s an irreplaceable image conjured onto a silver-coated metal plate through a truly alchemical process.
Each tintype portrait springs to life through the storied wet-plate collodion process: the plate is meticulously hand-prepared in the darkroom just moments before exposure, and then developed in a whirl of chemistry and anticipation. In this ritual of craftsmanship, every plate acquires its own soul—no two are ever the same!
Once the plate has captured your portrait and undergone its rapid transformation in the darkroom, the most intriguing act—fixing—uncovers your image for the first time. Tintypes are known to last for centuries, making each one a fascinating heirloom to be cherished for generations.
