Authentic Tintype Portraits for Individuals and Families
Have your portrait made with the same process used during the Civil War. Arrange a tintype art talk for your group, school or organization. Being extremely archival, tintypes can be passed down from one generation to the next and beyond.
In the 1850’s and 60’s photographers regularly traveled from town to town making portraits that are still viewable today. Photographer Craig Murphy travels with his mobile pop-up tintype studio in Glens Falls, NY and other Northeast locations bringing you the same 19th Century wet plate collodion photographic experience your ancestors had.

“My husband and I had our tintype portraits done by Craig earlier this year. Excellent experience, great for anyone with an appreciation for art, photography, history or science. Fascinating to see the images appear through the chemical process. Highly recommended as a great activity for friends or a memorable date idea.”
