Part I
About this event
Tintype photography offers a rare chance to engage with a historic art form, creating portraits that feel both timeless and personal. Amber Ascher, a skilled photographer, invites you to her Milwaukee studio to experience this unique process. Whether you're a photography enthusiast or simply curious, this session provides a hands-on opportunity to see how portraits were made in the 19th century.
The intimate setting of Amber's home studio adds a personal touch to the experience. Each session is carefully crafted to ensure you leave with a beautiful, one-of-a-kind portrait. It's not just about the final image; it's about the journey of creating something with historical significance. Book your session to step back in time and capture a moment that will last a lifetime.
