Capturing Timeless Moments with Tintype Photography

Welcome to the world of vintage photography where moments are captured in a timeless manner, preserving memories that will never fade away. At Eternal Spring Studio, we specialize in the art of tintype photography, an over 100-year-old photographic process that produces unique and striking images.

Tintype photography, also known as wet plate collodion photography, was widely used in the 19th century and is now making a comeback among photography enthusiasts who appreciate its distinctive look and feel. Unlike modern digital photography, tintypes are created using metal plates coated with a light-sensitive emulsion that captures the image in a direct and raw way. The process of creating a tintype photograph is truly an experience in itself. From preparing the plates to developing the image and finally varnishing the finished piece, each step requires skill, patience, and attention to detail. The end result is a one-of-a-kind photograph that exudes a sense of nostalgia and evokes a bygone era. What sets tintype photography apart is its ability to capture the essence of a moment in a way that is both timeless and enduring. The images produced have a haunting quality to them, as if they are frozen in time, inviting viewers to reflect on the past while also appreciating the present.
