Tintypes Essay

Tintype Photography

 Tintype is a type of photography that was used in the early 1900s and late 1800s. Tintypes are created using a direct positive on a thin sheet of metal coated with enamel. Taking the photo includes various amounts of chemicals, once the photographers who mix their own chemicals usually would allow their chemicals to sit for a couple of days before the use of the chemicals.( Whenever the chemicals sit for a couple of days the chemicals start to develop a yellow tint for a different look and then you can get an amber look for leaving it in for about a month or longer). In the 1800s whenever time types stared becoming a thing the photos were so poorly made that as of today some of the photos can't even be found; But some of the tintypes that have been found are damaged and really dark due to all of the aging. Even though they're damaged they are amazing to look at because it's some original pieces of photography. From looking at all of the old and new tintype photos that have been taken, I am truly fascinated by seeing how this process works in person when the chemicals react with the photo and making the photo look really vintage.

I choose this photo one because I love Frida Kahlo and then I also choose this photo because I love the placement of where she is.

I chose this photo because it makes me think two things when was this photo taken and then why he looks so frightened 

I love that this photo has like scratch marks, as well as the photo is somewhat dark.

The photo makes me really wonder what the guys face actually looks like under all of the markings.

Such a clean tintype of F. Scott Fitzgerald, this is actually the best tintype that i have seen 

His face looks like there is a lot of freckles but i think its just the way that the photo has aged 

I choose this because the photo reminds me of the statue "the thinker" but in female version which i really like.

I choose this photo because i like how clean the photo looks, it doesn't look damaged or have the "Aged"look.

This kind of reminds me of a young Ron Swanson, I choose this because it gives a look on how men had dressed back in the early 1900s

This photo is one of my favorites because it looks like its smoky but yet like theirs a liquid on the image

• For the first assignment that I plan on doing a Baby powder/ Flour shoot. For this shoot I would need a dancer as a model because in this shoot i have seen dancers as models and It would be interesting to shoot dancers making a big mess. I would need to shoot this in the day in the studio with a black background so the flour can be visible.

 

• For the second shoot I plan on doing I want to use a Blacklight and Blacklight paint and Paint someone and see the effects with the blacklight. The time of day would definitely need to be at night because it will be best visible at night. I'm not sure who i would use as a model for this shoot but they will need to be okay with having paint on them.

• The third shoot i want todo involves using the refection of a prism from light so that i can get a rainbow on their face. The time of day would be during the day because i would need daylight for the prism to light up. I want to use someone with light hair so i can get more of the rainbow on their head area.

• I Also want to do the Smoke bomb shoot again i want to use different models this time and have a different background and different color smoke . daytime is the only time i could take these photos.

• And finaly i am going to be doing senior portraits. with multiple seniors. and for the time of day it depends on what they want.
