Kaitlyn and Yonny drove from York, Maine, to my studio in Plymouth, New Hampshire for a unique engagement photo session. Kaitlyn is a Graduate Student in Photography Preservation and Collections Management and an intern at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. Both she and Yonny appreciate history and art. A tintype session was right up their alley!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a tintype session I use the wet-plate collodion process invented in the mid-19th century. The result is a one-of a-kind photograph made on metal plate.\u00a0\u00a0Each tintype is handmade, and imperfections are part of their charm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plates are individually prepared by hand in the darkroom and must be exposed and developed within a few minutes. I use an antique camera and lens to create softly-focused images. Once I have varnished them, these portraits are truly archival. I hope that, fifty years from now, Kaitlyn and Yonny will hold this portrait and remember this beautiful time in their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
