I specialize in making environmental tintype portraits using the historical photographic process, wet plate collodion. Using a large-format 4 x 5 and 8x10 view cameras and my portable darkroom, I make tintype portraits while you wait —and watch!
Engaging with my subjects to make each tintype, I collaborate to make these portraits. My outdoor studio provides for a lovely setting as well as natural light. Tintype portraits offer a beautiful honesty not typically found in photographs. This is truly a magical process…and you will see this photographic magic during your sitting.
For over 17 years, I’ve been making tintypes. My work has been exhibited nationally and I have two published books of tintype portrait work, Skaters (2017) and Skater Girls (2020).
Wet Plate Collodion
Invented in 1851, the wet plate collodion process involves hand-coating a metal plate with light sensitive silver nitrate, exposing, developing and fixing the plate, all within minutes while the plate is still wet with chemistry.
Each tintype is unique, one of a kind!
