Book your very own Tintype Portrait
My event pricing is sliding scale between 70-120 for each 4x5 image & the experience of this beautiful historic process. High resolution scans are available for an additional 10.
Studio Sessions at Cobra Custom
I’ll be back in Plymouth at Cobra Custom Tattoos taking your portraits, just in time for the holidays! Tattoos & tintypes sure make timeless gifts!
Please note, for indoor studio sessions, I can take an image of up to 3 people; if your desired portrait has more than this, please reach out to ask. Weather-permitting during daylight hours, I can accommodate natural light images (and therefore, more people in the same image), but this will predominantly be an indoor setup using a Speedotron flash system.
Though the historic process may not take the full duration to complete your image, each slot is 30 minutes long to ensure time to compose, develop and fix your portrait. You are encouraged to take photos and videos of the process and your plate during your appointment (and please feel free to send them my way!)
Please ensure you are on time! If you are more than 10 minutes late for your scheduled appointment, you will be forfeiting your slot, and must rebook for a later time if available.
Following the event, tintypes are taken back to my home darkroom to dry and varnish to preserve your image for years to come. They will be delivered back to Cobra Custom on Tuesday, December 23 and can be picked up any time after 12pm. *Shipping is available for an additional charge, but may or may not arrive before Christmas*
