Pretty soon we will have a guest in the class to teach us how to do Tintypes! This is a process one of my college professors does all of the time and it is something I have always wanted to do and Mr. Reeves has a buddy who is going to help us out!
Before we actually do this, I want you to research the history and the process of Tintype, or Ferrotype, Photography. Please submit a 350-400 word essay on the history and the process. I also want you to post 10 images that you find online (new or old) of Tintype photography. Underneath each photo please write 1-2 sentences on why you picked that image. Finally I want you to tell me what you want your Tintype to look like, a portrait of who? What will they wear? Etc. Keep in mind that it will have to be taken in this classroom.
Here is a news article about my professor and his process:
