Frame Details
A metal frame common to both Ambrotype and Tintype is used.
Modern Frame
A slim dark gray metal frame that complements wet plate photography.
For tintypes, a special spacer is used to prevent the image surface from coming into direct contact with the glass.
Simple Frame
This is our standard specification for displaying the tintype without glass.
Display stand included.
Optional Add-ons
Wooden Stand (+¥1,500)
We also offer a rugged wooden stand that enhances the raw, metallic character of the tintype.
You can remove the tintype from the frame and display it directly on the stand.
Only 2 remaining in stock.
Color Print (+¥3,000)
You can order a color print taken in the same composition as your ambrotype.It is stored inside the lid of the wooden box, so when you open the box, you can enjoy both the wet plate photograph and the color image together.
Full-body Color Portrait / Mounted Print Finish (+¥10,000)
Wet plate photography mainly focuses on upper-body portraits.
For those who would like to capture a full-body image or preserve their outfit, we offer an additional color photoshoot with a simple background.
This option is also recommended for those wearing kimono or dresses.
You will receive approximately 30 edited images, along with two 2L-size prints mounted on presentation boards. These will be delivered at a later date.
Pickup is available at the studio, or shipping can be arranged.
If you would like to add this option, please let us know at the time of booking, as preparation is required.
