Tintype Portrait Event Set-up

I do a quick walk around of my booth space set up for making portraits at pop-up events and markets

Thanks for sharing the setup! Interesting about the No Z... I've been wanting to try it but I'm hesitant because I like UVP X so much. Just curious, how do you deal with rinsing plates after fixing? Just toss them into a water tank for a while, or do you use running water somewhere?

[@paullender]

On location I do a minimum of two washes with 750ml or so of water. Pretty simple, just pouring fresh water into a Paterson that that is holding the plate. Swish ot around for 30 seconds, let it sit for 10 mins, dump the water and repeat. On that second wash I'll let is sit at least 10 mins or longer if I don't need the tray. If I have access to water, I might do a third wash after that second 10 mins and then let it sit.

@@paullenderThanks for the info! Do you just use tap water? I've always rinsed mine in distilled water because I'm afraid minerals might mess things up, but I might just be worrying about nothing.

[@paullender]

The only thing I make sure I use distilled for is my developer and silver. Tap water for everything else.

@@paullender good to know. Thanks again!

Cool! So, it is popular? How much pic do you take in ehat time, and price per one? What do you offer?

[@paullender]

People can schedule ahead of the event and they often sell out. This one was a five hour event with appointments every 20 minutes. Pricing - $75 for a 4x5 and $95 for 5x7
