The wetplate collodion process, or tintype, is a 19th century photographic process using poured chemistry, silver and light to make an image on a metal plate or sheet of glass. Each photo is a one of a kind original with no negative. Tintypes are heirloom photographs, and if treated carefully, will last a lifetime. It is a very unique way to capture a moment in time, and each plate usually has some imperfections which makes the process so special.
I have been making photos using this process for the past five years and am completely in love with the way it captures light and depth, it is unlike anything film or digital can accomplish.
