Things have understandably been slow at the MT Ranch these last few months, so I’ve been working on more still lifes, including experimenting with some extra-small ones what they call ninth plate, or about 2 x 2 1/2. I decided to offer some of these at what I consider a pretty decent price for an original tintype, $35 shipped (CONUS). If anyone would like one, perhaps even for Father’s Day, just let me know. They are varnished, and initialed and dated on the rear. Again, these are small, but they are actually really cute. More coming soon, plus I have a bunch of larger plates in various sizes as well should anyone be interested.
I always love the opportunity to capture a great beard. Josh, 8x10 #tintype
Offering another workshop with Brian Cuyler of UV Photographics Feb 29/Mar 1 at my downtown studio. You’ll learn how to shoot your own tintypes and ambrotypes, and can use all of our gear, lighting, chemicals, etc. It’ll be a lot of fun, and no previous experience is necessary. Message here or check http://moderntintype.photo or uvphotographics.com! #wetplate #wetplateworkshop #tintype #dtla #uvphotographics
Mae was a bit of a challenge, but we managed to get this on only the second take. 3 1/4 x 4 1/4 #tintype. #petphotography #dtla #dogphotography
Uvphotographics and I have another #tintype workshop coming up at the end of February. Check uvphotographics.com for info/registration or message me here. You’ll be shooting, processing and varnishing your own tintypes by the end of the first day. All materials are provided, and all of my cameras, lenses and lighting will be available for use. You can even bring a family member or friend to shoot! If you are interested in non-portrait subjects, there are lots of still life and nearby outdoor/urban subjects to explore as well. #wetplateworkshop #analogphotography #losangelesphotographer #DTLA
4x5 #tintype from yesterday’s session. One of those that makes all the effort and frustration involved in this process worth it! #wetplate #portraiture #dtla
