Process

I produce tintypes using the 19th century wet plate collodion process. Mixing my own chemistry and developing aluminum and glass plates by hand, every image produced is entirely unique and unpredictable. In an age of digital image making, I find it refreshing  to explore the timeless quality of this historic, completely analog process.
