A PixSavers! Special: What's a Tintype? Here's Your Answer:
We're Very Real.
Before Photo: Digital Photo from a digital camera:
See the Arrows -
This is a digital picture taken by the customer:
You will need to look closely at the eyes lids and under the
eyes of each of these subjects. Wringles and redness can
be taken out which was in the case of this happy couple.
You cannot guess their age even with the red of the eyelids.
But this woman wanted her red eyelids changed to natural.
We took out the red on her eye and the red under his eyes
and nose and the side of his nose. it's nice to be capable
of changing the way we look in picture.

After Photo: (still a digital photography)
See the Arrows - (again)
Our happy customer was glad we took out the red from her
eyelids and the red from her boyfriend's under-eye. We
hadn't heard from the boyfriend but we think he's happy too,
about this face lift we did for the couple. He's 87 and she
wouldn't give her age but our artist is 58 and she said she
was much older than him.
Both of them look a retouch-younger. One of our best.

1960's 17X24 Poster with Family: (poster-1)
Side By Side Before and After Photos;
This family was thinking big when they had this
poster on canvas done of the entire family.
But, there were parts missing, mainly people-parts.
We delicately reconstructed the people back together
so that their heads were complete. Difficult to do
because the texture of the canvas, but there were
hundreds of cracks, rips, tears, and many parts
missing. But, we fix them all.

1960's 15X24 inch Poster with Family: (poster-2)
Side By Side Before and After Photos;
This is the other family poster, which had the
brother's head missing and not knowing what he
actually looked like, we needed to pretend like we
knew. Still, we managed to put together the side of
his head and matched his hair to their liking and
finally completed the entire poster.
We're good at reconstructing people.

TINTYPE BEFORE-PHOTO:
An 1800s Tintype Photo -
We managed to keep its original colors intact.
This Tintype was taken with the old studio gun-powder
flint-flash and the non-flammable canvas behind.
The Canvas is highly stained from the flash of the gun powder
flint flash. A canvas was required to be fire retardant and be
capable of withstanding a fire from a powder-flash.
Still, fires did start and there was usualy a bucket of water
nearby. The subject would be sprinkled with the flint powder
and then with the water too if a fire broke out - "The wild West."

TINTYPE AFTER-PHOTO:
An 1800's Tintype Photo -
After an extensive clean up, this photograph looks like new in
comparison. The background is the natural color of the
photograph and the actual "new" color of the canvas.
It was common to have a sleeping baby after the long wait of
having a photo taken. Photography commonly took more
than 45 minutes to an hour to get the right photograph and to
process the tin. Photographers had a very small headrest
on the wall for those who couldn't keep their head in one
position for an hour or two. There is usually a table nearby
for leaning also but this photo does not show the table.

TINTYPE BEFORE PHOTO:
1800s Tintype Photograph
This family photograph is in its original colors. These
photographs are a wonder of who they were in the era as
families restore their photographs to reveal a long lost relative.
Very few backgrounds were as easy to clean to show their color.
Again, this canvas background is stained with the gun powder.
Chunks of flash-powder would blow onto subject and
background. The natural color of the background is an easier
task to restore than the subject himself. This subject has
features which will be tough to clean up with a beard and
characteristics of a jacket. Bringing out the clothing or tools
displayed is essential to the tintype photograph.

TINTYPE AFTER PHOTO:
1800's Tintype Photo -
In these period photographs, the person being photographed
really only wants a record of his existence and a few tools of his
trade to show who he was, what he did, how he did it, and this
man did not have the tools to show. This is a family photograph
of a man who was willing to pay a high price for a photograph for
a studio shot. Although this man did not show his tools of his
trade, his family suggested that he was a blacksmith, although,
most blacksmiths did not have a beard. A beard could catch fire
from his furnace.

BEFORE PHOTO:
Vintage Photo on Dark Brown Plastic
Originally, these plastic photographs had the background
as a sepia color. A sepia mid-tone from 1907 was
sometimes the brown plastic color it already had.
In addition to a plastic photo, this one was kept in a
(worn-out) plastic enclosure.
Our assignment was to get rid of the plastic enclosure,
then clean cracks, spots, dust, iand extend the picture into
the corners, to convert the oval photograph into a rectangle.

AFTER PHOTO:
Vintage Photo on Dark Brown Plastic
We extended the photo outward to its corners.
We also replicated floor pattern to its lower-corners.
Then we mended the cracks, spots, dust, then conv erted
this oval photo into a rectangle, resized to 5 X 7.
The photograph was an original from a studio, which
doesn't exist anymore. We kept the studio signature upon
request.

AFTER PHOTO:
We converted this plastic photo into a paper photograph.
Tintypes and plastic wafers were colored with dyes.
George Eastman was convinced that plastic was the future.
He had drawings of a camera with rolled plastic placements.
The early tintype camera had metal "pictures" inside the camera
in a clock-wise fashion to rotate the "pictures" for the next shot.
Eastman had the same drawings for his plastic wafers.
George Eastman made money from selling tins 1883 to 1917.
Photographers in the North (America) Couldn't get polished tins.
Eastman's plastic photograph idea warranted as his patented
drawings of a camera were bought by Kodak. Eastman never
had a partnership with Kodak but his name was used for the
business to give him the credit since George Eastman never
received a penny from his invention.

| BEFORE PHOTO: Very Possibly an Original George Eastman Plastic Photo This particular photograph had gotten too close to a heater and was melted. The picture became wavy along with the melted plastic. We needed to restore this fine specimen of what could be an early George Eastman photograph. George Eastman made a fortune by selling tins to Tintype Photographers from 1887 to 1916. However, Eastman was convinced that Plastic was the future for photographs and that a plastic wafer could produce a better photograph since the plastic was already shiny and as shiny as a tin needed to be polish to produce its photograph. Plastic could do better. This is one is one of the Earliest of those in 1902 which were made very much like the same plastic wafers which George Eastman would have produced to prove his theory. |
