Capture your Image with Vintage Flair!

The amazing Conrad Photography will be offering Tin Type photo sessions. This vintage process of capturing an image onto metal leaves you with a truly stunning result. Wear your mermaid best for this unique opportunity!


Wet Plate Collodion Photography is one of the earliest forms of photography known to humankind.  The image must be captured directly onto a tin or glass plate before the light-sensitive chemicals that are poured on it dry.


Conrad is one of only a handful of people who are practicing this ancient, one-of-a-kind photographic technique today, and may be the only one prepared to bring his studio to your event!
