How it’s Made: Tintype Photos from the Civil War Era featuring the Charleston Tintypist

[@hailedwhistle]

Interesting, allot goes into it chemistry, trial and error, count downs, and what I really liked she tried to keep it nostalgic as possible with her jars , her clothing just every step was so good, details is the word I want to use,, thanks for sharing!!

[@BattlefieldCurator]

Yes, very tedious process and she dedicated a lot of effort to keep it as historically accurate as possible

[@JasonKangSW]

What a fascinating look into the intricate process. And what a brilliant final result. I can't like it enough. Thank you!

[@BattlefieldCurator]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@christophermorris481]

That is so freakin cool dude. I hope she never stops

[@BattlefieldCurator]

She is really good at it! She has a website CharlestonTintypist.com and Facebook and Instagram Charleston TinTypist

Super interesting. Like a lot of tasks in years past, this was a process and an art. I always apprciate someone who is passionate about their hobby.

[@BattlefieldCurator]

Definitely!

[@johnraines4825]

Love it.

[@dylanpritchard4981]

THIS IS SO COOL I LOVE IT

[@kenneth4992]

Great video. I never realized all the work that went into these photos. What did a tintype photo cost a soldier in the Civil War? GOD Bless you and your family

[@cornholiothegreat177]

Also you have a new subscriber due to that little shorts mixup.

[@BattlefieldCurator]

Awesome, thank you!

[@johnraines4825]

I wanted to do this uears ago. Would of been fun.

[@jamesmyers2087]

So fascinating. Also detect an Aussie or Kiwi accent?

[@marielharvey1238]

Now I want to get this type of picture

[@BattlefieldCurator]

It’s really cool, I was thinking about it but I was short on time and I’d probably want to be in some sort of historic outfit

[@JuanGamer0202]

It would've been soo funny to take pictures like this in modern era clothing, with acessories like phones, and have them all around the house just to confuse people

[@BattlefieldCurator]

I thought about it lol

[@KennethDAstonJr]

I would like some hands on training this looks amazing...............and Ai can't don this

[@larryligget628]

Very interesting, and I enjoyed this so much. Regarding the little mourning badge on the photographer’s apron-it looks a bit like an image of Poe. Who is it in the image? Thank you.

[@ememchi3717]

Very cool, she's also a very lovely woman.

[@markosterman419]

Well done. As experienced as you are I’m surprised that you still use a helper tray.

[@chrisleigh485]

Who is the guy who got his picture taken? I don’t see his name listed.

[@JushuaAbraham-sj2xl]

Is it safe to handle all those chemicals without gloves?

Polaroid before Polaroid
