What is a Tintype?
We create images using the wetplate collodion process developed by Frederick Scott Archer in 1848. The two most common forms of this photographic process are tintypes and ambrotypes.
Studio Portrait Sessions
We will work together to create a special portrait in pure silver that will last for generations. This isn't your normal photoshoot, because you get to see the all chemical process from start to finish.
Portfolio
Tintype portrays us as we see ourselves in a mirror with subtle difference in how light is typically captured. Your tintype image will have the same vintage look as pictures from the mid 1800s. .
Capturing Moments, Creating Legacies
Experience the Art of Tintype Portraiture
Photographs used to hold special significance, cherished and passed down through generations. At Porkpie Photography, we bring back the art of preserving memories with our unique portrait sessions using the Wetplate Collodion Process.
These archival quality images have set the precedent for both quality and longevity. First, you have an image that is created with crystals of silver at the molecular level. Second, since we're dealing with an image that is essentially silver, as long as the image is properly sealed with a coating of varnish, it should look the same in 100 years as it does today.
