My latest plate after a couple month hiatus

02/08/2022

One of the things I really enjoy is finding old outdated equipment and bringing them back into service. These are a couple of lenses that I use: 1. 290mm F3.8 Brass Petzval from 1890. 2. 300mm F5.6 Nikkor which is a more modern lens from the 1990s. 3. 18” Ross F5.6 circa early 1900s. All are beautiful examples of lens engineering and still create high quality images!

My favorite camera right now to do tintypes. It’s an 8x10 Agfa Ansco circa 1920’s. It’s 100 years old and needed a bit of a makeover but it still works great! Bought it out of the window display in Cameras Etc in Newark from Dain Simons and put it back to work!

Celebrate Valentine’s Day early with a couples portrait! Or if you are interested in the process and just want to get a portrait done go ahead and grab a time slot! All are welcome!!!

If you are interested in getting a tintype done but can’t make the 12th then send me a message. I can offer another way to accommodate you!

Book a Couples Tintype Session Experience this beautiful and historical photographic process! Invented in the 1850s, a tintype still remains one of the highest quality forms of photography to this day. Seeing your image formed with silver (yup the precious metal) on aluminum is something that nothin...

This is a previously shot tintype of bethany. She is talented and endlessly curious and was gracious enough to sit for a portrait for me.
