Single Plate Portrait Sessions
@ ALMA –– Langley, WA
June 13 + 14, 2026
Tintypes and ambrotypes made by hand using the wet-plate collodion process! Tintypes are made on blackened aluminum, while ambrotypes are made on glass and appear as luminous positive images against a dark backing.
Session Details
Each plate is poured, sensitized, and developed on-site, within the span of your session. Please try to arrive a few minutes early so we have time to meet, prepare, and create the image.
Afterward, your plate will be washed, scanned and varnished, and mailed/picked up within two weeks of the session.
