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!

Tintype Workshop

The attached plates were made at a large plate workshop I hosted last weekend.  We made tintypes in 4x5, 5x7 and 8x10 sizes in both indoor and outdoor settings. 
I want to thank you for Sunday's workshop and for letting me share it with my husband. He loved the experience, loved witnessing the magic of the moment the image reveals itself, and loved his down and dirty portrait. We talked last night about how seeing one's self photographed like that creates a sort of detachment from the person we think we are and makes us feel like part of history. We could be anyone, from any time period. It is simultaneously humbling and empowering. We also commented on how open you are to sharing your craft. Instead of keeping it to yourself, you let it live and encourage others to take to up. You do your best to demystify it and assure us that we can do it on our own, but let me tell you, we still see you as a modern-day wizard! Can't wait to pick up our portraits! - Hilary G

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.
