Tintype and ambrotype photography is a process invented in the 1850s by Frederick Scott Archer of Kenilworth. It involves pouring a collodion mix onto a tin or glass plate which is then sensitised in a silver nitrate bath. Once activated the plate is exposed in the camera – either ancient or modern – it is then brought to life under red light with a ferrous sulphate developer. When executed correctly the resultant image creates an ethereal picture – the process being more sensitive to UV light and less to red. Tintypes are pure silver and last 200 years – no AI, photoshop or photosuite!
