SILVER HARE TINTYPE

Studio tintypes are $200 for (1) 8×10 photo and $100 for (1) 4×5 photo. Each photo takes roughly 30 minutes to complete.

Wedding tintype photography done on location are $1000 and include one 8×10 and two 4×5 tintype images.

Events are $2500 and include up to 5 tintypes an hour. Upgrade to include custom frames for all tintypes for $3000.

We run our tintype studio out of our barn in Burnsville, NC. Just a 30 minute drive north from Asheville, NC.

Tintypes use UV light which is a different spectrum than film/digital black and white photography. Red will appear black and blue will appear white. I recommend clothes with texture and character. Steer clear of words and text on clothing as the final image is a mirror image (words will be inverted).

Yes! If you are able to stay after your image is taken you can expect to leave with a finished product. It takes 30 minutes AFTER your image is captured to hand you the finished product. We have animals on the farm to see or relax around the property. You can opt for shipping the tintype to your home if you are unable to stay the full 30 minutes. This adds a $20 shipping fee.

Reach out with some date/times your available and we will happily get you on the books.

Tyler and Maddie shoot with a Deardorff 8×10 and Toyo 8×10 tintype camera depending on the size needed. These beautiful old large format cameras have stood the test of time.

Tintype Portraits are not for everyone. I would recommend keeping an open mind.  The final product captures UV light and that can make yourself appear differently. We are happy to shoot another plate if the first one has a major flaw (blinking or chemistry flaws).

Yes, we do events! Wedding receptions, family reunions or corporate events. We do need access to electricity and running water. Contact us for a proposal plan with your event.
