Take home a handcrafted, archival artwork made with the same technique used by photographers in 1850.
Produced using the historic wet plate collodion process—a 19th-century photographic technique—the image was made by coating a metal plate with collodion, sensitising it in a silver nitrate bath, and exposing it while still wet.
Each plate is meticulously handcrafted in a darkroom, ensuring no two are identical. Subtle variations in tonal range, surface texture, and chemical artefacts result directly from the manual process, making each tintype an original artefact rather than a reproducible photograph.
Each tintype exhibits natural imperfections, chemical markings, and subtle tonal variations—these are inherent outcomes of the wet plate collodion process. Factors such as collodion flow, silver bath temperature, and development timing introduce unique surface artefacts and variations in every plate, ensuring that no two tintypes are ever identical.
