Tintype Central is a portrait studio specialising in the wet plate collodion process, a 19th-century method of development that predates film photography. Each image is hand-crafted, producing an original direct-positive image on a sheet of glass or aluminium plate.  This process produces unique images with a timeless beauty. Adrian will be taking portraits at the gallery all weekend.
