Wet Plate Photography
Wet plate photography, also known as tintype photography, is a 19th-century photographic process that captures images on metal or glass using light-sensitive chemicals. Invented in 1851, this method requires each plate to be prepared, exposed, and developed within about 10–15 minutes while still wet, hence the name.
The result is a distinctive image with rich detail, silvery tones, and a timeless, handcrafted quality. Unlike digital photos, each tintype is a unique physical artifact made using antique equipment and chemistry, just like it was done over 150 years ago.
If you book a session, you're not just getting a portrait - you're stepping into a piece of photographic history.
