Tintypes and Ambrotypes
We are creating portraits by actually using original “wet-plate” techniques, lenses, and chemical formulas, to make photos as in the middle part of the 19th century.
You can come in and have one of these unique portraits made in as little as 20 minutes.
Tintype portraits were originally made on blackened steel plates; these days often made on aluminum plates.
Ambrotypes, precursors to the tintype, are made on pieces of clear glass.
These hand-made, physical, heirloom pieces are sure to be handed down to descendants for generations just as the early photographs of our great, great grandparents still are today.
