Legacy Tintype Co.

Welcome! This channel is all about wet plate collodion photography—making tintypes, ambrotypes, and glass plate negatives using the same techniques photographers used in the 1800s.

I share the process step by step, from mixing chemicals and preparing plates to shooting and developing images in the darkroom. You’ll see behind-the-scenes experiments, tutorials, and the finished artwork.

If you’re curious about historical photography methods or just love watching how an image comes to life on metal or glass, hit subscribe and follow along.
