Back in 2024, we invited @sissi_lu to Penumbra to have her tintype portrait made. Since then, we have seen so many new faces come by the @penumbratintypestudio, from fellow artists to those just discovering alt process.
Two years later, Sissi brought her parents back to have their first tintype done by Sam @actual_sam_dole đ§Ą

Learn about alternative processes in our lovely backyard with Penumbra Foundation (@penumbrafoundation)! Led by experienced artist and educator Sam Dole (@actual_sam_dole).
Considered by many to be the Polaroid of the 19th century, tintypes are made almost instantaneously through a process that uses hand-poured chemicals on enameled metal.
Join us in June for a full day of wet plate portraiture in BFCâs backyard, covering all the basicsâfrom preparing the plate, pouring collodion, exposing, developing, fixing, varnishing, and chemical safety. Working in teams, students will get the chance to photograph, assist, and pose for a portrait.
Students of all skill levels are encouraged to join.
What: Plein Air Tintypes with Sam Dole
When: Saturday, June 6 | 10am-6pm
Where: Brooklyn Film Camera, 855 Grand Street

Spent a day learning how to make tin type photographs with Sam Dole and the Penumbra foundation at Brooklyn film camera. Itâs always such a refreshing pleasure getting to learn new (old) skills from the amazing artists that are working to keep these crafts alive.
