Digital Tin Type Photographs

The following images are digital “tin types” I create from modern photographic images.  After studying a lot of vintage images and experimenting, I created a method to reliably reproduce this technique.  I carefully apply hand retouching and focus adjustments using a graphics tablet and pen, and a specific set of filter and layer treatments, customized for each image.  I can apply this treatment to images for personal or commercial use, such as advertising.

Some photographs lend themselves better than others to a successful conversion to a digital tin type, and composition is very important.  If you would like me to take a look at a photo you are considering for this treatment, please drop me an email and I will be happy to provide input and provide an estimate for converting your photo into a digital tin type.
