3/20/2014 Ruthie, a tintype portrait11/13/2013 Rosalyn & AdamThese 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.

Jen Jansen 2012 8x10 tintype 2/15/2013 Replicating tintypesThe above is an example of an original tintype and it's subsequent gelatin silver paper prints. The tintype is on the far left, the original is a 5x7 created in December. To make the additional photographs I first create a negative and then print each copy by hand in the traditional wet darkroom process. I am happy to create the new print in any size from a tiny locket size, to 20x24. I stick with the traditional printing to continue the silver story from the tintype to the print, also to keep the maker a part of the photograph and analog alive!
