PORTRAIT SESSION: Tintype Pop-Up

  • 722 Sumner Spring Lane Chapel Hill (map)

BE MY VALENTINE!

Come sit for esteemed local photographer, Harlan Campbell, and get your one-of-a-kind tintype portrait made. Invented in the 1850’s, tintypes are photographs that are exposed directly onto a metal plate, resulting in that authentically vintage—milky and ephemeral—photographic image.

Appointment times are from 10am – 4pm in half hour windows. Please note that, for technical reasons, the standard for these portrait sessions is one tintype per 30min session with a maximum of 2 people in the photograph. You can also book a diptych, where each person is featured individually on two distinct tintype plates (for this option, select the add-to-class “diptych” during checkout).

After the session, you will receive the varnished original 5X7 plate along with a digital file. Additional photographic prints (archival pigment prints) can be made to order.
