TINTYPES

A wetplate photograph is a very unique fine art piece that is handmade from start to finish. I expose the image directly on a metal plate, called a tintype, which is poured with a light sensitive chemistry and further developed in the darkroom after exposure. It is a 150-year-old photographic process that is only mastered by a few photographers in Denmark. The whole process is done by hand with chemistry, an old large format camera and lenses that are more than 100 years old. In other words, a truly unique and imperfect piece of photographic craftsmanship you're guaranteed not to see on your neighbor's walls.
