Black Magic: Tintype Workshop
Learn the magic behind creating a tintype portrait!
In this free 2 hour workshop, photographer Adam Davis will guide attendees through the large format photography process.
This project is a community centered effort to reclaim the original form of image making called TINTYPE PHOTOGRAPHY. While traveling to HISTORICALLY BLACK cities around North America, the goal is to make 20,000 tintype portraits of Black Americans to create the largest contemporary archive of Black American portraits. The themes explored in this body of work include celebrating Blackness, Queerness, & Afrofuturism.
