Sonoma Tintype Photography
Maker Faire Bay Area 2024
October 18th-20th
Sonoma Tintype gives demonstrations of how a photograph was taken in 1855. We use the original chemicals, metal or glass plates for the image, cameras from the 1800's and other equipment from that era. We carefully explain the process and some of the problems the original photographers had.

Once interested with the tintype process, I have trained at Eastman Kodak, worked with John Coffer whom rediscovered the tintype chemical process and others to improve my photography skills and also to rebuild 175 year old view cameras and equipment.
