In American Tintype, professional photographer Harry Taylor describes the distinctive imperfections and limitations that drew him to the 19th century technique. With a bulky camera and complex chemistry, shooting and developing images becomes a slow, labor-intensive craft.

"The great thing about doing all these processes is you really get deeply involved with it," he explains. The images are inherently unlike modern photographs because of how long they take to expose. "Sometimes, you know, after a 20-second exposure, someone will go 'oh wow' -- there's just something different about holding still for a 10 to 20-second exposure ... you're reading the thoughts of someone ... there's more depth." Taylor's haunting tintypes and ambrotypes (see more on his website) capture contemporary faces in way that feels of another era, if not otherworldly.
