TINTYPE Portrait Booth
When tintype booths emerged throughout Victorian London they were nothing short of astounding, captivating enigmas that blurred the lines between innovation and mystique. The photographers behind these booths were whispered to be sorcerers, their ritual of capturing one's likeness on metal plates shrouded in mystery and accused of witchcraft.
​
This was the end of the times when having one's portrait taken was a privilege. Tintypes captured the essence of the era, immortalizing the spirits of not only the elites but also the ordinary people, in a dance of alchemy and light. Despite the superstitions, the tintype portrait booth prevailed and became a cherished part of Victorian culture, with families preserving their portraits as treasured heirlooms.
Rumors of soul-stealing swirled around these wagons, tents, and stalls, with some even believing that the new technology was an invention of the devil himself. But for those who dared to venture within, Tintype booths offered a unique opportunity. For a common flok, it was, for the first time ever, a chance to glimpse their own reflection, forever frozen in silver dust.
