This project aims to create meaningful portraits for families within the Buffalo community. The portraits will be created using the historic process of wet plate collodion, resulting in a tintype photograph. The project will be completed using a 4x5" view camera along with a portable darkroom. The opportunity is made availble to the public via partnerships with local community centers. It will include the neighborhoods of South, East and West Buffalo. The project will culminate in an art exhibition in the city. The goal of the Tintype Community Project is to create memorable portrait photograhs that will open up a dialogue across different communities. Participants that have their photograph created will be encouraged to attend the opening. Due to the cumbersome nature of the process, there will be a limited number of portrait opportunities.
