INSPIRATION // Victoria Will's Sundance Tintype Portraits
March 06, 2014
I can't get enough of Victoria Will's beautiful and haunting tintype portraits of celebrities at the Sundance Film Festival. Thank you to Charlotte for introducing me to the images!
In college, I adored my photography classes and was lucky enough to take a class on alternative photography processes. We tried out many techniques (unfortunately not tintypes), and I loved the unpredictable nature of these types of photographs. You literally don't know what image you have until you've developed it.
This short video gives a great description of the steps involved in making a tintype.
Aren't they fantastic? I feel like such a fan-girl about it, but I just love them!
I hadn't looked too much into the Miss Peregrine books, and didn't realize they actually had photographs within the books. Will have to take a look at it -- thanks for the recommendation!
Hope you guys are having a great week!
Oh, these are fantastic! They remind me the photos used on Miss Peregrine's books. Love it! Well, I love anything dark and twisted, actually. :)

so great! theres a guy in portland who does tin types at the local flea market and I have been wanting to get one forever!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome idea! If you go, I'd love to see how it turns out -- I think all these old photographic processes are just fascinating!
