Sessions are held at my studio in lower Queen Anne in Seattle, a block away from the Seattle Center campus. I currently offer plates (tintypes) in 4x5" or 5x7" sizes. For each session we'll shoot a few plates to make refinements. All ages, occasions, costumes, and ideas are welcome, within reason (reach out if you have any doubts). Sessions include one physical tintype & a high resolution scan. Alternates from the session are available at half price. Let me know in advance if you'd like more than one tintype––for example: multiples of one setup, a set of three (couples who want one image together and an individual portrait of each), etc. 

​

Tintypes are one-off, one-of-a-kind photographs exposed directly onto a plate of metal (aluminum). The emulsion for each plate is hand-poured in the darkroom. Because the chemistry is wet (hence the name ‘wet-plate’) the final image has a near grain-less clarity that sets it apart from other photographic mediums. Plates must be washed, scanned, & varnished after each session. I'll typically have them ready for you within two weeks of the session, unless we plan otherwise in advance. If you are unable to pick them up, we'll work out a delivery method that works for you.

​

I ask for a $45 deposit to book, which goes toward the cost of the session. The deposit is refundable if the session is cancelled at least 72 hours in advance. If you need to reschedule, no worries! Please give at least 48 hours notice to reschedule or the deposit is non-refundable.
