Each tintype is a unique, one-of-a-kind handmade photograph taken on our farm in Willseyville, NY

Tintypes are photographs taken directly on a metal plate with handmade chemistry using historically-correct recipes.

The photographs below are made directly on a metal plate, which is developed rinsed, and fixed before the chemistry dries. The result is a beautiful, often haunting, image reminiscent of the past.

These tintypes were taken with Crystal's antique 5x7 Seneca Improved View large format camera.

Each image is unique and one-of-a-kind. You will receive the actual metal tintype photograph pictured
