Alchemy, n: Preservation of a fleeting moment in precious silver

Announcing our May Collodion Popup event! We will be doing a popup event in May with free collodion portraits. See more at Free Collodion Popup

My newest adventure is wetplate collodion tintype photography services. Mainly I will be focusing on portraits but will do the occasional fine art or landscape picture.

The essential element of photography is light. Light interacts with the subject and is focused through a lens. The light transforms the receiving medium and becomes a permanent image.

Medieval Alchemists tried to transform base metals into silver and gold, and failed. But photographers have transformed light into precious Silver. This page is dedicated to continuation of the 170 year old process of creating images using collodion and silver.

Still under construction – so check back for updates and exciting information on next Spring’s portrait opportunities!
