Tintype Portraits

Tintype Senior Session, In-studio senior session, tintype photography by Michael Rhodes Photography

Tintype images are handmade using the same equipment, chemicals, and process that were used in the mid- to late-1800s. The wetplate collodion process was invented in 1851. Tintypes are truly one of a kind.

Perfect for ANY occasion, Mike is thrilled to offer this historic process in the studio in Strongsville or offsite using his traveling darkroom.
