Experience a photographic process that has remained virtually unchanged since the 1860s. At Blackfyre Studio, we specialize in creating authentic tintype and wet plate portraits using hand-coated metal plates and a vintage camera crafted from fine mahogany.

Each portrait is produced through a meticulous, handcrafted process that combines artistry, chemistry, and traditional photographic techniques. The result is a one-of-a-kind image with remarkable depth, character, and permanence—an heirloom-quality portrait unlike anything created by modern digital photography.

Whether you are celebrating a milestone, preserving a family legacy, or simply seeking a truly unique photographic experience, a wet plate portrait offers a rare opportunity to step back in time and become part of photographic history
