Look at those details!

Small scale digital copies just can’t communicate how crisp and clear a tintype can be ✨

This portrait of Haley Gene Kenyon from Drop Dead Beauty LLC is a perfect example. Slide through for a closer look 👀

Metts Ave Bridge, Summer, 2026

I’m excited by the challenge of making more plates outside, especially as we move into Fall and the humidity dies down a little.

This 8x10 plate has been digitised and looks amazing at a larger scale. I want to make some limited edition prints, but need some input from yall … If you were to buy a print, what size would you want?

Let me know ⬇️

A sweet 5x7 plate with Sofia and Iziel ✨

I love it when people want to look behind the curtain.
The process of making a tintype is a collaborative experience. I think bringing people into a room to create something physical together is a big part of why these portraits feel so memorable and lasting.

I want to acknowledge and thank Arts Council of Wilmington for the support they give artists working in our community.

Earlier this year, I received one of their Artist Support Grants. This allowed me to upgrade my tintype studio for more flexibility at pop-ups and for field work. This support gave me the freedom to take on projects at Fort Fisher, along the banks of Burnt Mill Creek, and multiple pop-up venues throughout the summer. I’ve been able to challenge myself and grow as an artist.

Applications are open for the next round right now, and I encourage all local artists to apply!

Cheers ✨

Also, shout out to Alison for helping me find my feet in the field, and for taking some photos behind the scenes.

This project was supported by the North Carolina Arts Council, a division of the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources.
