Nataly Divine BTS

February was blessedly warm and so we used the weather to do some portrait sessions. Here are some pictures with Nataly Divine BTS (Behind The Scenes). Nataly wore a beautiful 1920’s style dress is ravishing red. This was a wet plate collodion session where we made some beautiful tintypes. Check out my 19th century photo site for the plates: sunandsilver.photo/portrait/riverside-tintypes-with-nataly/

Our first picture is a real BTS of Nataly Divine along with my Intrepid large format camera. Nataly is a true professional because she not only held this pose for the tintype but also for the digital photo.

Next a color shot alongside the black and white conversion. This reminds me how much I love black and white photos and that I need to start using up some of that film I have in storage! At least it will free up some room in the refrigerator….

The trouble with photographing a beautiful model is picking out the best pictures to share. Here we have two photos of Nataly and I love them both. So unable to decide on the best, I will post them both! Which is your favorite?

Our last picture combines both the BTS and one of Nataly’s tintypes. The tintype is reversed because that’s how they are. I often use glass plates to make Ambrotypes and they come out normal. Ambrotypes are more work but so worth the extra effort!
