Visiting the Chicago area? Make sure to schedule a tintype sitting with Chicago Tintypes during your visit. On location or in studio, a tintype sitting captures a frozen moment of life in an instant.
This one of a kind blue plate tintype was created in studio with a 8 x 10" Century Studio camera and reducing back. It is matted and signed by the artist.
Tintype measures 5 x 7"
Matting measures 8 x 10"
We love making tintypes and especially love the opportunity to take wet plate collodion sittings both on location and in our Chicago studio. Here is a tintype that was created on location at Northwestern University in Chicago. The couple were newly engaged and used the tintype as the photograph for their 'save the date' cards. It was a beautiful location for a lovely couple. Here's to their bright future!
Here is a shot of the 'behind the scenes'!

We really like using the tinstamatic app for taking fun iphone photos with a tintype flare. Why not take some of those iphone tintypes and turn them into tintype you can hold in your hand. Here is another one we recently made:) Fun with tintypes!
