Cole Caswell Tintypes
Book A Tintype
Tintype commission participants will have their likeness made with the historic wet-plate collodion photographic process. Tintypes are a unique one of kind photograph on a thin sheet of metal. Each tintype is coated in light sensitive chemistry and placed in the camera while wet. The sitters likeness is then captured on the tintype with few second long exposure. The resulting image and plate is visible to the sitter moments after the exposure and will be washed, dried and varnished so it is ready to take home by the end of day or following morning
We will be doing 15-min time slots from 1:00-3:00 PM on Friday September 12th behind the Darius Inn, and then a second session from 10:00-4:00 PM on Saturday.
Please email us your timeslot preference beforehand if possible. Walk-ins welcome on standby.
