For me, photography has always been my passion and my hobby. Since I was very little, I used towould take photos in my free time, make up a scene, and sometimes even take self-portraits. One day, I asked myself what it was it like in the old days? How were these photos taken if the technology was not as advanced as it is now andnow? And the interesting thing is how photography has changed during thisevolved in the last couple of years.

Tintype is a photographic process using a positive sheet of metal coated with enamel. It was a process that appeared in the 1850s in America, but started to be popular in the ’70s, mostly in Britain. This process is similar to the wet plate photography in the way how, as it was a variation of collodion positive. There was a thin iron where the negative image was produced and it was coated with collodion emulsion, and by using a dark background gave the image the appearance of a positive. This process was workingused in some booths orand in the open air at many events, such as fairs, and it was so easy that the person could takehave the photo a few minutes after they took the photograph since it didn’t use tin and didn’t need to get dry.
