It was an original archival Jack Daniel’s Ten Year Old, unopened and possibly one-of-a-kind. Because of its historical value, I handled it with extreme care. Using the wet plate collodion process, I created a series of tintypes, each one a direct positive on metal. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d89263cb117307b613b21e1/ec90e88b-be2d-4c81-9076-593b1279d7d9/Jack-Daniel-Box-10-year.jpg Blake Wylie Tintype Photography Blog - When Jack Daniel’s Turned to Tintype Photography - One of those plates became the hero image for the launch. After being scanned and reversed, since tintypes appear mirrored, it was included in a custom presentation case designed by FINN Partners. The case, a Shou Sugi Ban wooden box lined with velvet and paired with etched glassware, went out to distributors and media as part of the brand’s reintroduction. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d89263cb117307b613b21e1/9882bc9c-027f-478a-bc82-a4fb8bb5d1dd/Jack-Daniels-Tintype.jpeg Blake Wylie Tintype Photography Blog - When Jack Daniel’s Turned to Tintype Photography Tintype photography is slow, deliberate, and rooted in the nineteenth century. Those qualities mirror the patience and care it takes to produce a whiskey aged for ten years. As Betty Mason from FINN Partners said during the process, the look and feel of a tintype was authentic to the way Jack Daniel’s does things. For me, this project was a reminder that authentic tintype photography is not just a portrait medium. It can bring heritage, tactility, and depth to commercial storytelling in a way that feels different from anything digital. https://www.blakewylie.com/blog/ipa-2025-honorable-mention monthly 0.5 2026-03-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d89263cb117307b613b21e1/bf977db3-6286-43fe-897a-e3e0d9eecb7a/Image.jpeg Blake Wylie Tintype Photography Blog - IPA 2025 Photography Awards Honorable Mention This year, I submitted some of my favorite tintype photographs from the past year to the International Photography Awards (IPA) 2025.

It reminds me how often I move through life half-present. Checking my phone while someone is talking. Thinking about what’s next instead of what’s here. But in the studio, there’s no room for that. There’s only this person, this moment, and the choice to show up for both. https://www.blakewylie.com/blog/how-long-do-tintypes-last monthly 0.5 2025-07-07 https://www.blakewylie.com/blog/can-you-smile-in-a-tintype monthly 0.5 2025-06-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d89263cb117307b613b21e1/85b074d9-3136-4a90-b388-1e090539e1ff/no-smile-daguerreotype.jpg Blake Wylie Tintype Photography Blog - Can you smile in a tintype? - Why Did Everyone Look So Serious? In the 1800s, daguerreotype and tintype portraits were often the only photographs people would ever have of themselves. They dressed formally. They held still. And back then, exposures could take ten seconds or longer, making it tough to hold a smile. So most people didn’t. Portraits felt serious because they were serious. A once-in-a-lifetime moment captured on metal. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d89263cb117307b613b21e1/42724636-8c43-45c8-8d5d-9c9d8c6416ac/smile-in-a-tintype.jpeg Blake Wylie Tintype Photography Blog - Can you smile in a tintype? - A Portrait That Feels Like You I work to create an atmosphere where people can relax and be themselves. That might mean a thoughtful moment, a laugh, or something in between. The tintype captures it all in a way no other format does. Raw, rich, and deeply human. So yes, you can smile in a tintype. And when you do, the result is something quietly magical. Of course, if you're drawn to that classic, serious look, you can absolutely lean into it. Many people choose to sit still and channel the quiet intensity you see in 19th-century portraits. That’s part of the magic of the process. It’s flexible. Some portraits feel soft and playful, while others carry a deep stillness. Both are beautiful, and neither is required. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d89263cb117307b613b21e1/574ec779-dd15-4b9c-94d3-390157a8e7d3/silly-tintype-fun.jpg Blake Wylie Tintype Photography Blog - Can you smile in a tintype? - Curious What That Looks Like?

It’s Tactile. It Has Weight A tintype isn’t just seen. It’s held. The plate is metal. The emulsion is hand-poured. The final result is something that can last for generations if cared for properly. It has texture, substance, and soul. In a time when so many images live and die on screens, the tangibility of a tintype makes it feel more real. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d89263cb117307b613b21e1/5c41c039-84bc-438d-a604-ed4c02286f1b/Tintype-Exposure-Daniel-White.jpeg Blake Wylie Tintype Photography Blog - Why Tintype Photography Is Different (and Worth It) - 5. It’s a Collaboration While I guide each session, tintype portraits are ultimately a co-creation. The process asks you to meet it halfway. You have to surrender to the imperfections, the unpredictability, and the moment itself. It’s not about being camera-ready. It’s about being present. https://www.blakewylie.com/blog/met-early-american-photography monthly 0.5 2025-06-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d89263cb117307b613b21e1/1748702929982-5QGRTQBF51QHF24SRQ4B/IMG_2728.jpeg Blake Wylie Tintype Photography Blog - A Visit to the Met’s Exhibit on Early American Photography - met-early-american-photography.jpg The Met Early American Photography Exhibit 2025 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d89263cb117307b613b21e1/1748702929922-4PFJBIAXC2SQVIC1LX5V/IMG_2723.jpeg Blake Wylie Tintype Photography Blog - A Visit to the Met’s Exhibit on Early American Photography - met-early-american-photography-tintype The Met Early American Photography Exhibit 2025 Tintype https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d89263cb117307b613b21e1/1748702930864-SC2IWXAPLKPXH4NJROOL/IMG_2710.jpeg Blake Wylie Tintype Photography Blog - A Visit to the Met’s Exhibit on Early American Photography - met-early-american-photography The Met Early American Photography Exhibit 2025 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d89263cb117307b613b21e1/1748703006735-ZNRUTXBBOWKPY2NMRF17/IMG_2716.jpeg Blake Wylie Tintype Photography Blog - A Visit to the Met’s Exhibit on Early American Photography - met-early-american-photography-daguerreotype The Met Early American Photography Exhibit 2025 Daguerreotype https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d89263cb117307b613b21e1/0fea33a4-a873-4eeb-b9ac-9b9bb338715a/daguerrotype-camera.jpg Blake Wylie Tintype Photography Blog - A Visit to the Met’s Exhibit on Early American Photography Through the galleries, there is also a selection of nineteenth-century cameras placed thoughtfully within the surrounding galleries. Each camera is positioned near the type of photographs it would have produced. A daguerreotype camera sits among a display of daguerreotypes, creating a powerful connection between the object and the images it helped create. A stereo camera is also on view, accompanied by stereo photo viewers that allow visitors to experience the three-dimensional quality of the images. Seeing these tools in the context of the photographs adds depth to the exhibit and offers a tangible sense of the craft behind early American photography. https://www.blakewylie.com/blog/how-improv-shaped-my-photography monthly 0.5 2025-05-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d89263cb117307b613b21e1/8f76856c-f7a5-4a06-81ff-18f406e62fd6/Music-City-Improv.jpg Blake Wylie Tintype Photography Blog - From Stage to Silver: How Improv in Nashville Shaped My Tintype Photography - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d89263cb117307b613b21e1/134beb33-1967-4360-88a4-b5ea21f19b33/Music-City-Improv-Nashville.jpg Blake Wylie Tintype Photography Blog - From Stage to Silver: How Improv in Nashville Shaped My Tintype Photography When I first discovered tintype photography, something clicked.

Here’s how a typical session goes: We’ll talk briefly about the kind of portrait you’re hoping for. This could be quiet, strong, soft, bold — anything. We’ll figure it out together. You’ll be seated and guided into a relaxed position. The time to focus and be still is longer than digital, so I’ll help you settle into a natural stillness. The plate is prepared, exposed, and developed right away. You’ll get to watch your portrait appear in the developer and then the fixer tray within seconds — it’s a moment most people never forget. Your tintype is fixed, washed, and either handed to you the same day or shipped after drying and varnishing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d89263cb117307b613b21e1/c6046262-d3d2-4320-984d-47493ed6e5bf/Nashville_Guitar_Tintype.jpg Blake Wylie Tintype Photography Blog - How to Prepare for a Tintype Portrait (What to Wear & What to Expect) Based in Franklin, Just Outside Nashville I shoot most tintypes at my home studio in Franklin, Tennessee just south of Nashville.

My first "darkroom" was black plastic sheeting stapled to the basement ceiling, a folding table, and a red fluorescent light from Home Depot. I built my own silver tank and fixer trays out of acrylic. I mixed my own collodion ("Old Workhorse" recipe) and japanned my own metal plates. I even converted an early 1900s Kodak Brownie box camera into a crude plate holder — recommended by John Coffer as a good, first test camera. It was messy, it was smelly, and half the time I wasn’t sure if I was ruining the chemicals or the equipment. But I loved every second of it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d89263cb117307b613b21e1/09d18036-759f-46ef-89ef-a9038a45fab4/FirstTintype.jpeg Blake Wylie Tintype Photography Blog - My First Tintype: How I Fell in Love With Wet Plate Photography On March 12, 2011, standing in that makeshift basement darkroom, I watched my first real tintype image appear in the developer tray. It wasn’t perfect. It was faint and scratchy.

Each one is a handmade original on metal, created using a process that dates back to the 1850s. No digital files, no copies, no negatives. Just one plate, made by hand, start to finish. I work out of my home studio in Franklin, Tennessee, about 20 minutes south of Nashville. When you come in for a session, you see the whole thing happen. I coat the metal plate with collodion, dip it in silver nitrate, load it into the camera, make the exposure, and develop the image right there in front of you. The whole process takes a few minutes per plate, and I usually produce three or four tintypes in a session that runs about an hour and a half. I shoot 8x10, 6.5x8.5 (whole plate), and 5x7 portraits. Most sessions happen indoors at my studio with strobes, but I also shoot in natural light and I'm available for on-location sessions around Nashville and Middle Tennessee. How I got here I've been taking pictures for a long time. I shot 35mm film for years, dabbled in digital for a while, but by 2009 I was feeling pretty disillusioned with digital photography. That's when I fell down a YouTube rabbit hole and discovered wet plate collodion. I started teaching myself from old forums and a hand-copied manual by John Coffer. Before any tintype photography, though, I spent about eight years doing improv comedy in Nashville with groups like Music City Improv and Improv Nashville. That background still shows up in my portrait work in ways I didn't expect. Improv teaches you to pay attention and to read people quickly. It also teaches you to stay loose when things don't go as planned. All of that matters when you're working with a process where the chemistry has a mind of its own and every plate is a one-shot deal. My first darkroom was black plastic sheeting stapled to a basement ceiling in Old Hickory, TN. I made my first visible tintype on March 12, 2011. It was rough, but it was enough to get me hooked. I've been at it for about 15 years now. In that time, I've created tintypes for Jack Daniel's (the campaign won Gold and Silver at the American Advertising Awards in Nashville), set up a working darkroom in the balcony of the Schermerhorn Symphony Center during the STORY Conference, and received an Honorable Mention from the International Photography Awards in 2025. My work has been covered by PBS Tennessee Crossroads, News Channel 5, PetaPixel, and Fstoppers, among others. You can see the full list on my press page. Why tintype still matters There's something about handing someone a physical photograph on a metal plate that doesn't translate to a screen. People hold it and go quiet for a second. It has weight. It looks different in different light. And because there's no negative, no file, no way to make another one, it carries a kind of value that digital photos just don't have. I'm also a technologist by day. I've spent my career working in tech, and I think that's part of why I'm drawn to this process. I know what digital can do. I use it every day. But there are things it can't do, and a tintype is one of them. The imperfections, the texture, the fact that you watched it come into existence in a tray of chemicals, those are the things that make people come back. What's next I'm working on learning the daguerreotype process, which predates tintypes by about 15 years. It's a different animal entirely, involving mercury vapor and polished silver plates, but I'm looking forward to adding it to what I offer. Stay tuned on that. If you want to book a session, here's my pricing and scheduling page. If you have questions about the process, my FAQ covers the details. And if you just want to read more about tintype photography, I write regularly on my Tintype Journal. https://www.blakewylie.com/things daily 0.75 2025-05-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d89263cb117307b613b21e1/5e1a79d3-7898-4b7b-b9ad-c5e50b9f7ad7/img20210710_14405472.jpeg Still Life Tintype Gallery Tintype photograph of vintage Jack Daniel’s bottle by Nashville photographer Blake Wylie https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d89263cb117307b613b21e1/1569275736650-AMR2HNHJOT8YAFJLL9RI/IMG_5225.JPEG Still Life Tintype Gallery A Vintage Lightbulb -
