Tintype wet plate collodion photographer Studio in Lambertville NJ
Daniel Leocadi, a local wet plate collodion photographer, tintype studio on the second floor of the People’s Antique Store in Lambertville NJ.
There has not been a photographer like this in Lambertville since the Fritz photography studio that was situated next door and John C. Tibbles studio on the corner of Church and Union St during the 1860s – 1880s.
Wet plate collodion photography is one of the earliest photographic processes discovered by Frederick Scott Archer (UK) in the 1850s. The earliest photographs of the USA were captured by William Henry Jackson using this process, and Matthew Brady captured images of the American Civil War, many of which remain today.
Daniel uses this process of alchemy – silver, light, and a 1901 Century camera to capture a photograph onto a glass or metal plate. Once created, the plate is essentially an original physical work of art – a copy of the truth that can’t be changed or reproduced and, if taken care of, can last hundreds of years. The surreal raw quality can’t be matched by any digital process today. The entire process takes about 30 minutes per image and has several steps. Each plate is always unique and a product of many variables such as temperature, humidity, light, chemical formulas, and techniques, making it challenging to master.
The tintype portrait studio is open by appointment.
Tintype portraits and tintype sessions make unique and personal gifts for any occasion.
