The world's only Tintype and Polaroid portrait studio
PHOTOBOOTH World Famous Tintype Portraits
Tintypes are unique images made in metal plates, in the tradition of 19th century photography. Each tintype portrait is crafted on a 4" x 5" aluminum plate and is packaged in a display envelope. Traditionally tintypes recorded the intensity of the individual personality and take 20 minutes from start to finish.
