Tin Questions

by Chad Shryock

Have an interest in modern day wetplate collodion photography? Chad Shryock, tintype artist at Porkpie Photography, sits down with contemporaries in this photographic process that was widely used from 1850 until the 1880s. After spending over 100 years on the back burner, photographers all over the world are getting into sloshing collodion and slinging tin. Each episode will introduce a current practitioner of the process and discuss why they decided to join this growing group of folks, talk about their photographic gear and other insights into the process.
