–––––––––––––– SESSION INFO –––––––––––––– During a session we'll have time to talk about each setup, and shoot a plate or two for each to refine posture, lighting, framing, etc. Each plate (tintype) is sensitized, exposed, developed and fixed to a final positive image in pure silver all in about 10-15 minutes. Exposure times range between 5 and 15 seconds. There is a bright flash involved, but this is safe even for infants. This is a collaborative process.. everyone I work with in the studio is welcome to join me in the darkroom to share in the creation of your tintype. COLORS/CLOTHING: This process is only sensitive to blue and UV light, which means that reds and reddish colors will appear anywhere from grey to black (darker in general) and blues and bluish colors appear grey/light-grey to white (lighter in general). Patterns and textures tend to work rather well, and in general I'd avoid flat/untextured whites or blacks. I encourage bringing options that we can discuss, and you're welcome to bring objects/props that are special to you or may be useful on the day. Plates are washed, scanned, & varnished after each session. I'll typically have your tintypes ready for you within a week of the session, unless we plan otherwise in advance. If you're unable to pick them up, I'm happy to ship the plates to you for an additional fee. ––––––– Sessions ––––––– 4x5” - $200 5x7” - $250 8x10” - $350 ––––––––––––––– Couples Packages ––––––––––––––– Starting at $360 Includes 1 together portrait + 2 individual portraits.
