Studio Sessions

Reservations required - BOOK ONLINE

Have your tintype portrait made using the 1850s wet plate collodion process, one of the earliest forms of photography. This hands-on, all-analog method uses metal plates, antique cameras, and a mobile darkroom to create a one-of-a-kind image you can watch appear before your eyes.

These studio sessions will take place in the building that most recently served as the Riverwest Co-op Grocery and Cafe @ 733 E. Clarke St., Milwaukee, WI 53212.

Pricing:

• $75 per 4”x5” sized plate

• Price includes a high-resolution digital scan of your image

• Cash, PayPal and Venmo are accepted for payment

Other important info:

• Due to limitations with my camera and lighting, I can only accommodate portraits of up to 3 people for these sessions.

• A $25 deposit is required to hold your appointment. One week notice of cancellation is required for refund of deposit.

• Your tintype will be varnished after the session and mailed to you within one week or available for local pickup. Scans are emailed to you the day following your session.

Please check out my website's FAQ page to prepare for your tintype session and email me if you have any other questions before your session.
