“Tintypes can last hundreds of years. My portraits become heirlooms that will be passed down for generations to come. How cool is that?”
A: Unique and compelling. The portraits are created using a wet plate collodion process called Tintype photography. It was invented in England by Frederick Scott Archer in the 1850s. Many images from the Civil War were Tintypes.
Tintype photographer Tim Brow styles flowers around Corey Hubbard’s face as she poses while getting her photograph taken in his studio in Salido on March 20, 2023. Brown says that the experience of getting a tintype photograph is fun and unique. “It’s rare that people don’t leave with a new appreciation of the process,” he says. Clients can choose from a collection of hats or clothes and other objects in his studio to add interesting elements to the photograph.
Tintype photographer Tim Brown processes the tintype photograph of Corey Hubbard in his darkroom in Salida on March 20, 2023. Any step from beginning to end when using the sometimes toxic chemicals can ruin an image. The last step of the tintype process is using a fixer. Historically, tintype photographers used potassium cyanide as a fixer, but today some prefer to use sodium thiosulfate, which is less toxic. Brown uses a mixture with diluted cyanide which helps to develop the image.
