Tin Type Wet Plate Portraits in Lancaster, PA studio PhotOle Photography

A tintype, also known as a melainotype or ferrotype, is a photograph made by creating a direct positive on a thin sheet of metal coated with a dark lacquer or enamel and used as the support for the photographic emulsion. Tintypes enjoyed their widest use during the 1860s and 1870s, but lesser use of the medium persisted into the early 20th century.

Would people still love my photos fifty years into the future? Did I take the best picture possible? Creating something new yet timeless is my mission. I'm always learning something new while applying my touch to every photo. Above all, my art is all about creating iconic images.
