You're invited to The Image Flow's Tintype Workshop, instructed by Nathan Lomas! Tintype workshop instructor Nathan Lomas is fascinated by the ambiguities and tones that tintype photography creates and its contrast to today’s digital photography. Tintype pictures are a direct-positive photographic process (also referred to as wet plate collodion) that was prevalent from the 1850s to the 1880s. The end product is a one-of-a-kind image that will last a lifetime!
During the introduction evening (February 13), Nathan will talk about the history of tintype photography and show some examples of historic and contemporary tintypes. You will learn how the tintype process works and what to expect during the two days of intensive shooting.
This photography workshop will be divided into two shooting sessions, during which students will sign up for dedicated time slots to craft their images each day. The first session (February 15) will focus on creating still life images to become familiar with the antique process. Students are invited to bring objects and materials that they would like to use to create a personalized still life scene. In the second session (February 16), students will have the chance to bring a small group of family or friends to create stunning tintype portraits in our studio. Students will leave the tintype workshop with an understanding of the tintype process, and 12 unique 4×5″ tintypes!
Required Materials:
- Still life props
- Portrait “models”
- Work clothes that can get stained by chemicals
Registration: $375 (Course tuition includes: 12, 4×5 metal plates included & all chemicals and equipment.)
Registration is available online. Maximum six students.
