Save the date, an engagement tintype

Picture
This tintype was created on location in Chicago.  It was used as the save the date announcement for this couple's wedding.  I love how this image turned out.  The couple is dressed in modern styling, yet this image feels timeless.  Here is to a bright future!

Rosalyn & Adam

Picture

These two are intended to be married next year!  We took a few studio tintypes for the first shoot.  For the second shoot, we were on location at Northwestern Law School.  Below is one of my favorite images, it actually is the first tintype we made.  Because too much light was still coming into my darkbox the tintype solarized and created this neat effect.

Secrets

This tintype was plated with my 8x10 century studio camera and copal 3 lens. 
I've got a secret, I cannot say
Blame all the movement to give it away
....whatever you do
don't tell anyone...

This tintype is a part of an ongoing series of portraits.  They are cropped in tight so that the viewer can look directly into the sitters eyes, finding a common human ground that we all share. -JJ

A proper lady, 8x10 tintype session

The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes,
Because that is the doorway to her heart,
The place where love resides.
-Teresa Mahieu
These three 8x10 tintypes were created this past weekend in my home studio.
