Tintype Pop-Up For Events
If you haven’t already fallen in love with the tintype process you will after watching this video.
What is a Tintype?
A tintype is made by an entirely handmade process with origins dating back to the 1850s. Metal plates are sensitized, exposed, and developed on-site using a portable darkroom. The image is made in silver and will last many generations.
Who is Justin Borucki?
Family man first and a native New Yorker, amateur homesteader, artist and crafter obsessed with photography (hence, tintypes), and a maker of music portraits for nearly three decades.
“I feel incredibly fortunate to have had the majority of my career captured on film. Only one of them hangs in my house and that’s Justin’s.”
-- Michael Kelly
