Tintype, a traveling portrait studio, offers you the chance to have your picture taken via a traditional and fascinating photographic technique.
Tintype photography, also known as wet plate collodion photography, was popular in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
We operate in a bespoke car allowing us to get to different locations such as fairs, festivals, and other events. The ambulant studio has all the necessary apparatus: a portable darkroom, lighting and camera equipment. You get to choose the background and the pose, then watch as the image appears before your very eyes.
The vintage look and the appreciation of this old fashioned approach are countercurrent to global consumerist tendencies.
You will possess a special capture of yourself, suspended in time.
