Tintypes by Horst Details
Portrait photography with soul: handcrafted 19th century photographic images made on site. Horst's Tintype Portrait Booth is a complete portrait studio and darkroom facility creating photographs that are truly unique. Dating back to the 1850s, tintype photography is a process that captures an image directly onto a metal plate. Each tintype is one of a kind, and cannot be duplicated. Using chemistry recipes that are more than 150 years old and developed by hand these images make for a distinctive portrait of any subject. The slow, fastidious steps only permit a handful of portraits per hour. Many members of the public will be fascinated by the open air darkroom where many of the steps can be viewed. The booth also features informative panels detailing the process and history, as well as display samples. Horst previously introduced tintype to the Danforth community with his 2012 "Face the Danforth" show at Crema Coffee, a collection of tintype portraits celebrating the people that represent and contribute to the diverse character of the Danforth community. Work will resume shortly on this year's edition of "Face the Danforth". Horst is also involved in teaching the process through workshops, and hosts a number of family portrait sessions throughout the year at his home studio or on location at art fairs and wineries. A video documenting the process can be viewed at Horst's website in the video section.
