How to Shoot TINTYPES w/ Matt Seal | Wet Plate Collodion Process

I had the pleasure of documenting the wet plate collodion process, also known as tintypes, at Matt Seal’s personal darkroom/studio. Hope you guys enjoy it!

This might be my favorite video of yours - Its been a while since I last watched it but like Ric Flair, it just gets better with age.

I've always thought this would be a cool thing to offer for weddings or engagements. Like here is this image that took a lot of work but now it will last virtually forever.

[JenniferPChung]

VERY cool stuff! Thanks for sharing how it's done.

I find this process pretty fascinating. Haven't dove into it just yet, but it's on my list of things to eventually learn. Thanks for sharing your trip over there while he explains how he does it.
